Engineering insurance and inspection
This is an hour’s presentation looking to provide a plain English overview of the Engineering insurance market, which is often shrouded in mystery and badly understood. We will look at both the inspection and insurance cover elements of Engineering insurance.
Because engineering as a product is so misunderstood, there are enormous amounts of equipment across the UK that have no explosion cover despite the client having an 'All Risks' wording! The same problem applies to inspection where clients are often breaking the law by not getting an item inspected but do not realise this. For brokers this is a missed income opportunity and a significant professional indemnity exposure.
This webinar, delivered by Alan Chandler one of the most popular presenters in the UK, is very appropriate for brokers, underwriters, claims staff and loss adjusters as well as anyone else who wishes to gain a greater understanding of the insurance marketplace.
Fri 17 May 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm

Understanding how insurers calculate a motor fleet rate
This presentation will look at how Insurers compile a motor fleet history and why brokers need to be aware of the cut-off date used.
The webinar will explore the way in which underwriters look at fleet claims trends, and how they go about adding in expenses to obtain the quotation they offer your client.
Very importantly, the presentation also looks at fleet risk management improvements that could be put in place by a client, and why it is so essential that a broker proactively brings these to the attention of an insurer.
