Small business insurance provider blip has announced Band of Builders (BoB) as its charity partner, offering insurance and support to its network of tradespeople from less than £10 a month.
According to the company, blip is “built on community”, providing what’s described as affordable, tailored, and easy-to-understand insurance with a pioneering model where members share in the profits collectively. BoB, a registered charity that completes practical projects to help members of the UK construction industry and their families who are battling illness or injury, was said to be an obvious choice for a partner. blip and BoB share a common mission for the partnership: removing stress and worry in times of crisis for tradespeople and offering peace of mind when starting or running a business.
The partnership will see blip support BoB through charitable sponsorship and by providing blip members the opportunity to donate the value of up to 10% of their premium to BoB through its pioneering profit-share model.
Gary Ross, founder and CEO of blip says, “We are delighted to be partnering with BoB to deliver life changing support to tradespeople going through tough times. They put real people first and that’s exactly what we do at blip.”
Gavin Crane, CEO of BoB says, “Teaming up with blip, who share our passion for giving back, marks a significant step forward in enhancing the well-being of our community. In the construction industry when life poses challenges decision-making can be difficult for small business owners. blip’s business toolkits provide practical templates and guidance, easing stress and enabling businesses to grow. This collaboration is a positive step in tackling the challenges faced by tradespeople, offering actionable support for our community members.”
