We were asked at a recent networking event to summarise our business in 10 seconds and came up with: "If it's Green we're keen, if it's Brown we won't frown and if there's a smell, we can insure that as well"

The Association for Organics Recycling is holding its Annual General Meeting, Annual Conference & Exhibition and Awards on 9th-10th February 2011 at Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel. Nviro is the appointed broker to AFOR and will be in attendance refer to AFORS's website for full details of this event.... www.organics-recycling.org.uk

Solar PV continues to be a key driver in the renewables space and we are seeing many and varied enquiries. We are turning these around quickly and we have some very good "Energy Lawyers" we can bring into the mix where expert advice is needed on planning and roof rental issues.

We are dealing with Commercial & Residential roof rent scenarios and commercial Sola PV arrays being installed on brownfield sites and agricultural land. Just call and chat it through.............. 01782 712224.

The Association for Organics Recyling launches its new website on 1st December 2010. AFOR and Nviro work very closely together and the new site will be a really useful resource for members and non members. Refer to www.organics-recycling.org.uk.

We have been able to help a number of professional advisers working on renewable energy projects with issues surrounding grid connections. Specifically we have come across access issues, lack of title/unregistered land, restrictive covenants and we have been able to provide suitable Title Insurance policies to facilitate the grid connection providing comfort against claims from third parties. Provision has been made in some cases for loss of feed in tariff/power purchase & supply agreement payments if production needs to cease and also the cost of re-routing. Happy to talk through any potential scenarios......Call us on 01782 712224.

Does your lender need Pollution cover if the project is on a brown field site? Have you got good title to the land? Good access? Does the proposed use breach any covenants? Do you need to consider Advance Paymemnt Bonds in respect of equipment? Is the plant coming from abroad? - door to door transit insurance? These are just a few of the discussions we have with clients and their professional advisers - please refer to the "Project Risk Model" on our website for an overview of key areas of insurance coverage to be considered or give us a call on 01782 712224 for further guidance.

Micro installations in the Hydro and Solar sectors are proving to be big bsuiness for us and we are providing competitive insurance coevrage for individuals, commercial operators, not for profit and community groups on a daily basis. Most schemes take a while to come to fruition and we welcome dialogue at the earliest opportunity...............for an informal chat plaese call us now on 01782 712224.
