Watkin Davies Insurance Consultants have teamed up with Fitness Industry Services CIC (FIS) and Community Fitness Network (CFN) to provide bespoke insurance and risk management solutions to the Organisation and its Members.Both FIS and CFN were established to make a positive impact in getting people active through working with fitness brands, instructors and partners.
They create projects that enable communities to become active and get people moving, creating an engaging pathway to a healthier life. They offer support and training to help fitness instructors do what they do best – get people active.
Watkin Davies already work with a number of established sports organisations, including the Welsh Sports Association, FAW Trust and Water Skills Academy, as their Official Insurance Partners and this newest addition supports their continued focus and development within this sector.
Brett Pearson from Fitness CIC said; ‘Insurance is an essential element of an instructors business to ensure they can deliver classes knowing that should anything unforeseen happen, they are covered. It is a necessary cost, and we have worked very hard with Watkin Davies to bring to market the best policy cover available, and at the lowest cost for instructors. After the hardships of the last year due to COVID, getting any degree of savings is a welcome break, and it is this driving rationale behind every product we bring to market.’

Daniel Abbott - Sales & Development Director at Watkin Davies said; ‘It has been an exceptionally difficult time for Sport this last 12-15 months as a result of COVID and we are delighted that we have been able to work with Fitness Industry Services to develop and deliver a unique insurance solution to support their organisation, by offering a cost-effective Insurance package to ensure that their members are able to return to Sport with the peace of mind they have a comprehensive insurance policy in place’
