Allianz Cornhill Engineering is launching a product to cover audio, visual and sound (AVS) equipment.

Martin Ball, underwriting and operations manager at Allianz Cornhill Engineering, said the insurer would offer cover "which is more comprehensive than what is normally available", to include provisions for hired-in AVS kit and equipment in transit.

He said the insurer would "actively target brokers who have clients in this area" with an upgraded bespoke product which would aim to make Allianz Cornhill Engineering a "leader in the field".

Ball said the AVS launch followed the successful launch of its medical equipment cover earlier this year.

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.

Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
