Critical business interruption insurance learnings - Wednesday 8 January 12-1pm
Critical business interruption insurance learnings for brokers following the Infinity Reliance judgement
One of the most important judgements in recent times relating to Bi insurance was made in the Infinity Reliance case, and brokers who fail to change their proceedings risk large Pi claims against them going forward.
This case has shown brokers are very exposed to the following three areas:
1. If indemnity wordings are used rather than declaration linked.
2. Any broker guidance note must reflect the actual policy wording.
3. AICOW must be discussed when there are unusual exposures.
Average was applied by Aviva to the Bi claim following a large loss, and the broker was held liable for most of the shortfall, which was nearly £3m, due to their failure on the above three points.
This webinar, presented by Alan Chandler, one of the most popular presenters in the UK, looks to understand how brokers are exposed following this judgement and how to take practical steps to ensure the right procedures to mitigate these exposures.
This webinar is a must for all broking staff and has significant relevance for underwriters and claims staff also.

Alan Chandler ACII,
WEBINAR: Why underinsurance in home contents is so prevalent, and practical tips/tools to
Underinsurance is a major issue in the industry – many reports suggest that around 2/3 of homes are
underinsured. Unfortunately, the same is often true for the contents in those homes.
Why is this, and what can the industry do about it?
Who is it for?
This webinar is for:
- Brokers and insurers who handle home contents insurance for MNW and HNW clients.
- Brokers and insurers who insure assets such as art, silverware, trophies and fine wine for
commercial customers (e.g. restaurants, hotels, charities, sports clubs, oƯices)
- Claims handlers and loss adjusters who want to understand what to look for in, and risks around,
valuations with which they may be presented
- Compliance teams considering how to ensure clients and policyholders get the information they
need to make informed decisions, and that they are treated fairly

What causes a market cycle and are we heading into a soft market in 2025? Tuesday 17 Decem
Hard markets usually last around a maximum of three years and this latest one started in 2020.
This presentation, delivered by Alan Chandler one of the UK’s most popular presenters, looks at what causes market cycles in the insurance industry and what is likely to occur in 2025.
Alan correctly called the hard market in 2020, providing a presentation on the seven reasons why the market would harden. Rates have now got much higher; investment returns are now at very healthy levels and underwriting in the UK looks a lot better proposition than it did back in 2020. New entrants will be attracted to the market and existing players will look to expand capacity to take advantage of the current favourable investment conditions.
Rates will not crumble over night, but Alan predicts 2025 will see a change in demand and supply, where Insurers will have to start having to fight more for business, and there will need to be a change in the way insurers operate, which may result in home working underwriters actually answering the phone to brokers!
Alan will also explore how brokers and underwriters can be successful in a softening market. Brokers have a fiduciary duty, and this means insurers cannot ask brokers to be loyal without also providing genuine benefits at renewal for the policyholder.
Whilst many people will not want to see the hard market end, history tells us it will, and not mentioning it will not stop a soft market cycle starting. This presentation will equip you for the change in the market that is on its way.

UnitedMind Laughter Yoga
Join Lotte Mikkelsen, your everyday Laughter Queen for an online workshop.
Who will be providing a personal laughter workshop.
Participants often feel a strong sense of connection and team spirit at the end of each workshop. It provides renewed energy and focus, and "tools" that they can actively take away and use in their lives, both at work and at home. There is no doubt that the health benefits of laughter are extensive. Many diseases today are caused by stress and anxiety arising from conflict in the workplace, and by laughing we release natural chemicals into our body, which lower our stress levels and put us in a much more positive frame of mind, able to cope with work and life outside work.
