Directors and Officers insurance in a plain English nutshell (Luton)

Directors and Officers insurance in a plain English nutshell -

By Alan Chandler, Chartered Insurer.

FREE CPD EVENT ALL WELCOME

Alan has undertaken operational management roles in three major global companies - NatWest Insurance Services, RBS Insurance Group and Allianz Insurance. He has run underwriting, broking and claims functions. Ten years ago he set up his own training company, something that he had always longed to do as he is passionate about training. Since then he has trained well over a thousand people to become ACII qualified including six individuals who have achieved the best ACII completion in the whole of the United Kingdom.

Overview:

Alan will briefly explain the history and how the D&O market place is changing, including the fact that many more directors are being sued individually and also the fact that the amount of HSE prosecutions have trebled against individual directors since 2015. This is no longer a cover that ANY director can ignore, and ironically if a director refuses D&O without consulting their fellow directors they have massively increased their own personal D&O exposure!
Too many brokers are saying to their clients that the maximum limit a company should set for D&O is the sum total of all the directors personal assets - this is wrong and will lead to a pi claim against that broker!
Alan runs his own training and consultancy business, so does not come with any agenda for promoting a specific insurer's wording. This presentation will be focusing on how to make it easy to understand the main purpose of this valuable cover.
