Businesses in Shrewsbury will now receive specialist advice after Henshalls joined forces with Floodflash who are working to support the mitigation of the flood risk in the town.

The combined approach comes after flooding in the town over the last 3 years has caused havoc for business and homeowners.

We are backing the project by offering advice on insurance cover that could speed up claims and pay-outs with businesses receiving compensation in as little as 48 hours.

Jenny Osborne said, "we are working with Shrewsbury Business Chamber, as part of a town-wide approach to help businesses cope with any future flash flooding."

"We have carried out detailed research into specialised flood insurance policies available across the industry to find the very latest cover and we’re very pleased to have joined forces with FloodFlash."

“They offer rapid pay-out insurance policies and aim to pay the majority of claims within 48 hours which can make all the difference to a business that’s hit by flash flood water.”

Jenny said the company was able to process claims so quickly as they used a data and smart sensor system rather than the more traditional paperwork and assessment approach.

“Each policy comes with a FloodFlash sensor that’s fitted at your business premises. It measures flood depth in a property so that they can start working on your claim as soon as the sensor is triggered."

“It uses mobile connectivity to send updated flood data to the FloodFlash headquarters, and each sensor is equipped with highly accurate ultrasonic depth measurement technology."

“This is a very new approach to flood insurance which was initially created to help the authorities in New York monitor the level of water in the bay around the city, and we believe it could transform the way businesses deal with floods.”

Jenny said, "the Henshalls team would be offering bespoke advice to any business in the town that felt the cover might be appropriate for their situation."

“Our role in this partnership approach is to raise the profile of this incredible technology that is a refreshing and welcome development in the industry as we believe it could give businesses real peace of mind no matter what the weather brings.”
