RSM Group understands that arboriculture is a high-risk industry requiring specialist skills, careful planning and a strong commitment to safety.

From working at height and operating specialised equipment to managing public liability, workplace safety and changing environmental conditions, arborists face unique challenges every day. When unexpected events occur, you need more than an insurance policy, you need a trusted adviser who understands your industry and can respond when it matters most.

At RSM Group, we provide independent advice, tailored insurance solutions and dedicated claims advocacy designed around the way your business operates, helping you manage risk, minimise disruption and protect the long-term success of your business.

Effective risk management is about more than reducing the likelihood of a claim, it’s about protecting your people, equipment, reputation and profitability. In an industry where working at height, operating chainsaws and elevated work platforms, managing traffic and working around public spaces are part of everyday operations, taking a proactive approach to risk is essential.

At RSM Group, we work closely with arboriculture businesses to identify key exposures and implement practical risk management strategies that support safer, more resilient operations. By understanding how your business operates, we can help you address emerging risks, strengthen your insurance position and demonstrate to insurers that your business is committed to managing risk effectively. The result is a stronger insurance program and greater confidence that your business is prepared for the future.

When a claim occurs, the last thing you want is to explain your business, your operations and your insurance program to someone you’ve never spoken to before. That’s why at RSM Group, your claim is managed by the same dedicated Account Manager who took the time to understand your business, assessed your risks and developed your insurance solution.

Unlike brokers that hand claims to a claims department, your Account Manager remains your advocate throughout the claims process. They understand how your business operates, why specific cover was recommended and the impact a claim can have on your operations. This continuity allows us to respond quickly, and communicate effectively with insurers, working towards achieving the best possible outcome while minimising disruption to your business.

Our personal approach to claims management is one that reflects our commitment to standing beside you when you need us most.

As an independent, family owned brokerage, we answer to our clients, not insurance companies. We aren’t restricted by any preferred insurer arrangements which means we can focus on finding the solution that’s right for your business. By taking the time to understand your operations and risks, we provide tailored advice, broader market access and the confidence that every recommendation is made with your best interests in mind.
