We’re proud to offer our support for IPFRA, and the work they are doing to represent the interests of the Property Flood Resilience Industry. As more extreme weather becomes more common in the UK, and the number of properties at risk of flooding increases, it’s more important than ever to bring property flood resilience measures into the mainstream. We’re looking forward to continuing our work with IPFRA on their vital efforts to bring the PFR industry forward.
Jason Storah, CEO Aviva UK & Ireland General Insurance, said: “We are delighted to be a corporate partner for IPFRA. In future it is likely we will need to learn to live with extreme weather, and in our Building Future Communities report, we highlight the importance of property flood resilience in helping to adapt and help homes get ready for the risks they are likely to face from flooding"
The creation of IPFRA represents a huge step forward in mainstreaming PFR which remains a key priority for the industry and for Flood Re. We are proud to support the work IPFRA is doing to support growth in the sector, drive awareness of PFR and ensure the highest quality of installations are provided to customers which adhere to the industry’s code of practice. Working collaboratively with the industry, IPFRA and Flood Re’s Build Back Better initiative we can ensure more homes are better protected into the future as we face the challenges of a changing climate.
Admiral's Head of Household Underwriting, David Fowkes, said:
"As an insurer, we see first-hand the impact that flooding can have on households and communities. That's why we're proud to support IPFRA and its work to raise awareness of property flood resilience across the UK. By working collaboratively across the sector, we can help improve preparedness, resilience and recovery, supporting households to better manage future flood risk and helping communities become more resilient in the years ahead."
At Severn Trent, we recognise that building resilience to flooding requires collaboration across the entire sector. We are delighted to support IPFRA and its work to promote property flood resilience, raise awareness of flood risk, and help communities become better prepared for future flooding events. Through our work with customers, local authorities, the Environment Agency and other partners, we see first-hand the benefits of taking proactive action to reduce flood impacts. We look forward to working with IPFRA and its members to share knowledge, support innovation and help strengthen flood resilience across the communities we serve
