- Who are Team EPC's partner brands?
- Two: Fire Risk Specialists, which delivers PAS 79 fire risk assessments and fire safety certification, and Premier Insurance Services, an FCA-authorised insurance broker established in 1983. Both sit alongside Team EPC under the same ownership, and each does its own specialist work.
- Why keep them as separate brands?
- Because energy assessment, fire safety and insurance broking are three different disciplines with three different sets of qualifications and regulators. Keeping them separate means the person doing your work does it full time, rather than a generalist covering all three.
- Can I instruct all three through one conversation?
- Yes. Give us the address and what the building needs. We arrange the energy assessment, hand the fire safety work to Fire Risk Specialists and introduce you to a named broker at Premier. You still receive each report and policy from the specialist who produced it.
- Is there a discount for using more than one brand?
- Where we combine work on the same building or portfolio we can usually reduce the visit and administration cost, and multi-property work is priced as a batch. Insurance premiums are set by insurers, so those are quoted on their own merits.
- Who is responsible if something goes wrong?
- Each brand is responsible for its own work and carries its own professional indemnity and public liability cover. Premier is separately authorised and regulated by the FCA, with Ombudsman and FSCS protection for eligible clients.
- Do I have to use the partners?
- No. Nothing is bundled and there is no obligation. Most clients use the introductions because it saves them sourcing three suppliers, but you are free to instruct anyone you like for the fire safety or insurance side.
