Vanliner expands captive programme

An insurer in the moving and storage industry, Vanliner Insurance, has expanded its Forum Captive Insurance Programme to be available to moving agents allied with North American Van Lines.

Originally launched in June of 2011, Forum was designed to provide a cost-effective risk management solution for best-in-class moving and storage companies affiliated with Allied Van Lines.

The programme has expanded from nine founding agents to its current 20 members.

"We are proud of Forum's success over the past year, and are very pleased to invite North American agents to join the program," said Tony Mercurio, COO of Vanliner. "It is only through the collaborative efforts of both the Allied and North American agent leadership that we are able to offer this highly-specialized program to a broader audience of quality moving companies.

"Vanliner and the Forum members welcome North American agents, and look forward to working together to build an even larger and more robust program."

"With today's margins constantly being squeezed, it is so important to find positive ways to cut expenses," said Peter Toscano, Forum's advisory board chairman and president and owner of Reliable Van and Storage Company. "Forum has done just that, and we are happy to unite with North American agents as part of this dynamic insurance solution."
