The London-based claims prevention technology firm for home insurers said LB Forsikring has signed a further order for 7,500 LeakBot units, which will be distributed during the first four months of 2024.

We look forward to working with them on the roll out of these additional LeakBots in the coming months."

Sune Bille Larsen LB Forsikring's innovation hub head, said: "We continue to see a great opportunity with LeakBot to reduce the risk of escape of water claims for us and our members. Our members have been very engaged with LeakBot so far, with take up rates exceeding our expectations."
