CLIENT STORY / Craft brewing
Craft brewery: cover for downtime too
Lightning damaged a machine and halted production. A payment that also covered the interruption helped the brewery get through this period. A BTLA client case study.
← All case studiesThe situation
A lightning strike damaged a machine at a craft brewery. Production stopped. The business faced both the damaged machine and the financial impact of the interruption.
What we did
In this case, the BTLA client had cover that also included business interruption. The payment was therefore not limited to damage to the machine itself. Including the consequences of interruption in the insurance programme was crucial.
Outcome
The payment, which also covered business interruption losses, helped the brewery get through the production stoppage. This case shows why discussions about a key machine should also address loss of profit and the time needed to resume operations.
