CSW Insurance Brokers Northumbria – Your Local Experts in the North-East
Your Trusted Insurance Broker in Northumbria
When it comes to protecting your livelihood, your property, or your business, choosing the right insurance partner is one of the most important decisions you’ll make.
At CSW Insurance Brokers Northumbria, we bring together decades of expertise with genuine local knowledge, making insurance simpler, clearer, and tailored to your needs.
We are proud to serve communities right across the North-East.
From bustling market towns like Hexham and Alnwick, to rural farming areas stretching through the Tyne Valley, Morpeth, Berwick, and the Northumberland National Park, our team understands the risks that businesses, tradespeople, and landowners face here every day.
Heading up our Northumbria office is Joanne Dooley, a highly respected Chartered Insurance Broker. Having lived and worked in the region for many years, Joanne has built a reputation for professionalism, expertise, and a down-to-earth approach that clients trust.
With first-hand experience of running her own brokerage, she knows the challenges of finding insurance that not only ticks the regulatory boxes but also provides real protection when you need it most.
At CSW, we are more than just insurance brokers. We are advisers, advocates, and partners who take the time to understand your situation and match you with cover that gives genuine peace of mind.
Insurance Services Tailored to Northumbria
Every business is different, and so are the risks they face. From family-run shops in Morpeth to growing firms in Newcastle, we provide business insurance solutions that reflect your reality rather than a one-size-fits-all policy.
We can help protect your business against:
- Property damage – whether you own a premises or work from an office, we’ll make sure your building and contents are covered.
- Public liability – essential if clients, customers, or visitors interact with your business in any way.
- Employer liability – legally required if you have staff, providing protection against workplace accidents and claims.
- Cyber and data risks – increasingly important as more businesses rely on digital systems and online transactions.
- Professional indemnity – vital for consultants, advisers, and service-based businesses who need protection against errors or omissions.
Our panel of trusted UK insurers allows us to source competitive options without compromising on quality. More importantly, our advice ensures you’re never underinsured, overpaying, or left exposed to risks you hadn’t considered.
Farming and agriculture are at the heart of Northumbria’s economy and community. We know that rural businesses face unique risks, from unpredictable weather to specialist machinery and livestock concerns.
Our agricultural insurance services include cover for:
- Farm machinery and vehicles – protecting tractors, combines, quad bikes, and other vital equipment.
- Livestock and crops – ensuring your income is safeguarded against disease, theft, or damage.
- Agricultural buildings – barns, silos, and stores need specialist cover that reflects their use and environment.
- Environmental and liability risks – protecting you against claims relating to pollution, accidents, or damage to third parties.
Whether you’re managing a smallholding, a large farm, or contracting services to landowners, we tailor policies that reflect the realities of working the land in Northumbria.
By working with brokers who understand rural life, you gain confidence that your business will keep running, whatever challenges come your way.
Trades & Contractors Insurance
Tradespeople and contractors are the backbone of the North-East economy, providing the skills that keep communities running.
But working on-site, dealing with tools, vehicles, and contracts comes with risks that need specialist insurance.
We provide flexible insurance for trades including builders, electricians, plumbers, roofers, landscapers, and more. Cover can include:
- Tools and equipment – protecting your livelihood against theft or accidental damage.
- Contract works – ensuring projects are covered if delays, accidents, or damage occur.
- Liability insurance – safeguarding you from claims by customers or the public.
- Commercial vehicles – covering vans, trucks, and specialist vehicles used in your work.
The flexibility of our policies means they move with your business. If your turnover grows, you hire staff, or you expand into new areas, we’ll make sure your insurance evolves with you.
That way, you stay protected without paying for unnecessary extras.
