IOA Group has it covered with Peninsula partnership

The IOA Group, one of Britain’s leading operators of gaming and leisure equipment to retailers including JD Wetherspoon, Greene King, S&NPE and Punch, has secured what is widely regarded as representing the best health and safety cover available to organisations in the sector following its partnership with Peninsula Business Services.

The schedule of activities includes a full risk assessment at all IOA Group member depots and facilities, access to staff training programmes, a 24-hour emergency helpline, crisis management briefings and the introduction of policies to ensure cohesive and common working practices throughout all 20 Group businesses.

Announcing the partnership, IOA Group Vice-Chairman John Nolan said: “Our association with Peninsula means that we are able to provide our working partners in the pub and leisure sectors with the peace of mind that any IOA Group member operating within their premises has the best health and safety cover available to them, as well as providing our members with the best protection. We regard this level of cover as being essential when conducting business.

“As the IOA Group continues to develop and grow it is essential we reflect the status we have earned by working with leaders in their respective fields. Peninsula certainly fits that description having been operating for 25 years and currently providing consultancy and indemnity cover to some 24,000 businesses throughout the country.”

The IOA Group comprises 20 independent suppliers of gaming and electronic leisure equipment geographically located to deliver local, regional and nationwide coverage. A combined market share of close to 30,000 installed machines makes the Group Britain’s second largest operator. All member companies are privately owned, have no manufacturing interests and benefit from access to an extensive knowledge of all available machine types and brands.
