10 Years of the Insurance Act 2025 - Has it Made a Difference?
The Insurance Act 2015 was the biggest overhaul of insurance law for over 100 years but what has been its impact on the industry and our clients? What are likely to be the future trends in terms of how it is applied? In this webinar we will examine whether the Act has achieved its aims and, by looking at some of the landmark judgments over the past ten years, how the courts have been interpreting the Act.

Handling price-based objections
So often it seems that winning or losing a new deal comes down to our price whether it is fee, premium or commission.

Investigation of Electric Shock Injuries
Event Overview
In our every day lives we interact with electrical equipment frequently, often without thinking about it. With good product and system design, construction, use and maintenance, the electrical systems and equipment we use do not present a hazard. But when those principles go wrong, they can result in electric shocks. The resulting effects can vary widely, from an ‘unpleasant tingle’, through life-changing burn injuries, to fatal shock (electrocution).
Electrical Engineer Richard Heath will review the basic concepts of electric shocks, how they occur, and how electric shock personal injury cases are investigated.
Thu 26 Jun 9:30 am – 10:15 am

Pedestrian Protection Through Vehicle Design
Event Overview
Vehicle design plays a crucial role in preventing and mitigating injuries during road traffic collisions. Improvements in vehicle design have driven car occupant casualty figures down over many decades, through the introduction of more stringent regulatory crash testing to the development of active safety systems. However, in the UK, pedestrians remain over-represented in road casualty figures compared to other vehicular transport modes.
In this webinar, Road Traffic Collision Investigator, Adam Barrow provides an overview of the development of pedestrian protection measures in vehicle design, including:
• The principles and challenges of pedestrian protection
• How vehicle design evolves with, and sometimes leverages, regulation
• An overview of the technologies deployed in vehicle design to protect pedestrians
Thu 19 Jun 9:30 am – 10:15 am
Mr Adam Barrow,

Closing the deal - objection handling and closing
In the same way that many salespeople experience ‘call reluctance’, many others fail to ask for the business, or to have appropriate strategies to deal with objections when they do. This session explores how the work you do earlier in the process can make it easier for yourself by minimising objections and creating an ‘easier close’. We then explore how to handle objections when they do arise, and how to help secure the final close.
