Our in-depth experience working with distributors, manufacturers and processors within the food and beverage industry allows us to adapt quickly to dynamic industry conditions.

- Damage to brand and reputation, and product recall remain two of the greatest risks facing the Food and Beverage sector in Australia.
- Increased focus on food safety legislation and OH&S management requires additional consideration for risk transfer and balance sheet protection.
- Supply chains are becoming more complex with growers, processors, packaging, distribution and retail all having exposure from traditional property damage and business interruption exposures but also product tampering/extortion and contamination exposure.
- The Australian Food and Beverage industry needs to be flexible so that its product supply can react to consumer trends such as value for money and convenience, as well as health and wellbeing trends.
