WEBINAR - The beginnings of Fire Insurance: the 17th and early 18th century fire insurance
Fire insurance was introduced by a property developer, just after the Great Fire of London. Dr Nicolas Barbon set up a scheme to cover his own business to protect it from fire, but soon extended the idea to extend it to anyone who owned a building. It was an immediate success. Join Howard Benge, Director of the Insurance Museum, to find out why was it so successful, what were his innovations and what happened in the years that followed.
Presented by Howard Benge.
Howard Benge is the Director of the Insurance Museum. He is a museum and heritage professional who specialises in public engagement, and over the past 25 years has worked at the City of London Corporation, National Trust and Imperial War Museum. He is Chairman of the Old Talbot House Foundation.
