Our Class Underwriters, James Bright ACII and Adam Taylor ACII, were recently featured in the Insurance Post discussing insuring property damage caused by cyber attacks. The article explores the intersection of cyberspace and the physical world, whilst considering what options for cover exist for businesses in a growing area of the market. Clients in the heavy industry and manufacturing sectors are increasingly looking to insurers to cover property damage that occurs due to cyber-attacks, given the exclusions that tend to be in place across all risk insurance products. Adam and James discuss the Brit Cyber Attack Plus (BCAP) offering, as well as the maintenance of operational technology and the rise in the use of Internet of Things.

Good luck to Lois Ireson and Alex Barker, who are embarking on their first day of the Raptör Ride in Switzerland. 🚲⛰️ The Raptör Ride is an annual adventure that brings insurance professionals together who have a passion for cycling, whilst raising money for Action Medical Research - a leading charity dedicated to funding vital research to help sick and disabled babies, children and young people. This year’s route is no mean feat and will take the team through the scenic Jura Mountains and Chasseral Nature Park, which involves a lot of climbing. We’re proud to be one of the main partners for this event and wish Lois and Alex a safe and fun journey.

Recently our Chief Data Officer, Kanika Chaganty, joined a panel at the launch of Oxbow Partners Generative AI report in London. The report explores the results stemming from a study of 22 specialty and reinsurance firms on the maturity of generative AI and the opportunities that lie ahead. Hosted by the Lloyd's Market Association Association, the event brought together industry experts to present the key findings of the report, followed by a chance for the audience to ask questions. We really enjoyed contributing to the event and hearing from the brilliant panellists.

July marks Disability Pride Month, which we are proudly celebrating. At Brit, inclusion is our way of life and we believe in reinforcing a culture where every employee can be their authentic selves and thrive. We’re proud of our partnership with the Business Disability Forum and the work stemming from our Beyond Abilities Employee Resource Group, to find ways to support our employees living with disabilities. Last year, a few of our colleagues attended deaf awareness training to help make our workplace more inclusive, watch the video below to learn more. #LifeAtBrit #Inclusion #DeafAwareness #DisabilityPrideMonth

Recently, we participated in and won the inaugural Equity Sports Day organised by Equity City. The event was organised in celebration of Windrush Day, and we teamed up with Kennedys to create a team led by our Captain, Peter J. The team worked together seamlessly tackling various challenges from an egg and spoon race to total wipeout. The final was a classic tug of war versus Mimecast and our team were triumphant. It was an excellent afternoon out and the camaraderie was electric – of course with some friendly competition. A special thanks goes to Equity City and all the teams that got involved. We’re looking forward to defending our title next year! #BritInsurance #LifeAtBrit #EquitySportsDay2024

"Sometimes it's not about waiting for the perfect role to come along, it's about finding one or two roles in between that take you in that direction and set you up to be able to take that role".   Susan Andrew, our Operations Director, recently spoke to Sandra Lewin to share unique insights about her career journey as part of the 100 Women in Insurance podcast.
