Norwich Union has published a guide to the leisure sector to help brokers gain competitive edge in this fast growing, highly diverse market.
Designed to help brokers and intermediaries identify new business opportunities and tailor bespoke solutions through a comprehensive understanding of risks in this sector, the guide provides a market overview of the leisure, sport and hospitality segments.
Chris Christou, product executive, at Norwich Union, explains: "The leisure guide is one of a series of focused market guides designed to help intermediaries enter new markets.
"The leisure industry has been the fastest growing item of household spending in the UK economy for the last twenty years, accounting for almost ten percent of total employment and offering great potential to intermediaries well versed in its needs.
"The sector is extremely diverse, which is why this comprehensive guide will prove a valuable reference tool to issues ranging from kitchen safety and hazardous substances to crowd control and violence – and will help intermediaries demonstrate a good understanding of their customer’s business and develop insurance solutions for their specific needs.
Norwich Union has a specialist team of industry experts and a large network of underwriters experienced in a wide range of leisure, sport and hospitality industry risks. All customers can access Norwich Union’s risk helpline, legal and tax helpline, 24-hour claims service and preferred suppliers.
