The risks associated with lithium batteries

The risks associated with lithium batteries

Lithium-ion batteries were first mass-produced in the early 1990s, and they are performing a key role in the move away from reliance upon fossil fuels. However, using lithium to store energy presents a new set of risks to property underwriters. This session is designed to draw the underwriter’s and broker’s attention to these risks and why rating and wording alterations may be needed to counter this growing problem.

President's Message

Welcome to the Insurance Institute of Cambridge.

 

I am honoured to be President of this historic Institute, now in it’s 105th year. I have been the Cambridge Dinner Secretary for the last 6 years and have enjoyed working on council immensely. I have learnt a lot from the previous Presidents – Nick Carson, Mark Hassall and Sarah Myerscough, who all worked tirelessly with the rest of our council to ensure that we remain relevant, positive and deliver professional training to all our membership. In fact it was a chance conversation with Nick at a Cambridge Dinner which led to me joining council and becoming the Dinner Secretary. I would also like to thank Sarah Myerscough, our outgoing president for her tireless commitment and dedication this past year and of course I would also like to send heartfelt thanks to the council for their hard work in making it another successful year.
