Leading insurer ‘Consort Insurance’ steps up to be the first insurance company to join Code for Construction Product Information (CCPI) Demand-Side Supporters
 

CCPI is delighted to welcome Consort Insurance as the first insurance company to join the CCPI Demand-Side Supporters.  Consort joins a growing community of leading organisations – including major housebuilders, developers and contractors – who all join CCPI in its important mission to drive a transformational step-change in product information management and marketing across the built environment.   

Amanda Long, Chief Executive of CPI Ltd, the not-for-profit organisation set-up to guard the CCPI and independently assess CCPI conformance said, ‘It is so impressive to see an insurance company recognising the importance and value of the CCPI and its assessment processes.  As the first insurer to step up I warmly welcome Consort and congratulate them on their leadership.  The growth of CCPI demand-side supporters strongly signals CCPI as a ‘must have’ for businesses that want to be part of the future of the industry.  Watch this space for more announcements to come of demand-side organisations stepping up to support CCPI and play their part to raise standards across the industry in product information management and marketing thereby supporting building safety and much needed culture change to one of greater transparency and accountability.’ 

Daniel Harwood, Managing Director of Consort Insurance said, ‘Over the course of developing our specialist and exclusive insurance programme Consort PaD, we have witnessed significant advancements in legislation and adaptations to governance within the built environment, particularly for designers, contractors, manufacturers, and consultants. However, as all professionals understand, the effectiveness of any individual is closely tied to their tools, and the quality of these tools and materials depends on the care, expertise, and professional rigour involved in their manufacture and marketing. 

With this in mind, we wholeheartedly support the CCPI pledge as an important and necessary step forward for the industry. The work being undertaken by CCPI will help to enhance the quality and conformity of products used in construction while recognising and rewarding robust governance practices. This aligns perfectly with Consort’s commitment to promoting best practices and championing ‘best of sector’ standards within the built environment and fire sector. 

At Consort, we are proud of our PaD Insurance Programme, an exclusive facility designed specifically for companies exposed to fire risk. This initiative was developed to address critical challenges in the professional indemnity space within the fire and construction sectors. Built from the ground up with the support of a trusted insurance network, PaD reflects our dedication to providing innovative and reliable solutions.  

CCPI Demand Side Supporters are leading organisations who have pledged support for the Code for Construction Product Information (CCPI) and committed to use their influence in the built environment supply ecosystem to drive CCPI conformance and raise standards in the industry. 

In becoming a CCPI Supporter, Consort Insurance are committing to encourage customers who work in relation to the built environment (be they clients, designers, specifiers, consultants, contractors, developers, suppliers or manufacturers) to engage with the CCPI and, as relevant, become a demand-side supporter or undergo the relevant CCPI assessment. This commitment will be introduced into appropriate communications as a preference with the aim of achieving CCPI engagement by all strategic customers within 3 years of the date of signing of the pledge at the latest.
