HSB (UK) have announced its agreement to purchase the scheme administrator of LABC Warranty. The deal, which is subject to regulatory approval, provides LABC Warranty with the support of one of the most experienced and stable insurance groups.

HSB has had a relationship with LABC Warranty since 2012, providing specialist Machinery Inherent Defects Insurance to LABC Warranty customers.

This acquisition is a great opportunity for HSB to expand its core insurance business offering into the structural warranty area and enhance our distribution capabilities for our construction products within the construction industry.”
