We have been made aware of fraudulent insurance documents being circulated through Telegram. These are being used by contractors as proof of insurance to start jobs without purchasing genuine cover.
To confirm, Kingsbridge does not sell insurance, arrange cover, or issue policy documents through Telegram or other social media apps such as Whatsapp. Any insurance documents obtained through Telegram or other unauthorised sources should be treated with caution.
Why this matters
A counterfeit insurance document does not provide valid insurance cover, even if it includes Kingsbridge branding, logos, policy numbers or other information that appears genuine.
If you do not hold a valid insurance policy, any claim made against you will not be covered. This could leave you personally responsible for legal costs, compensation payments, damage claims, or other liabilities that would normally be covered by insurance.
