WHY SRG

  • Access to Lloyd’s markets for placements where standard policy wordings or online platforms may not be suitable
  • Experience supporting festival and event risks, where scale, temporary infrastructure and multiple parties introduce heightened and evolving exposures
  • Tailored policy wordings and bespoke placements, particularly for theatre productions and venues
  • Broader scope for event cancellation risks, with cover structured beyond the limitations of standard online offerings
  • Travel solutions designed for touring professionals, including higher limits and extended periods abroad

UNLOCKING GROWTH THROUGH SPECIALIST MARKETS

The Entertainment, Media & Sport team focuses on risks arising from live events, productions and the suppliers that support them, where responsibilities, timings and exposures are often interdependent and change throughout the lifecycle of a project.

Working alongside brokers, the team supports the placement of non-standard risks by helping to assess how an activity operates in practice and structuring insurance solutions accordingly. This includes identifying exposures that may be overlooked when risks are placed within standard policy frameworks.

The team’s role is to complement the broker relationship by bringing sector understanding and market access into placements where complexity, scale or timing require a more considered approach.
