Cardiff-based Carlyle Insurance Brokers, part of the Julian Hodge Bank Group, is planning a star turn after setting up a specialist team to cover the UK and international media industry.

The team will be headed by Sandy Fountain (pictured) who has worked with S4C Television in Wales.

Stars recently covered by the division include Patrick Bergin, Samantha Janus, Rik Mayall and Emma Samms.

Carlyle provides insurance cover for every type of production from one-day shoots to full production against a wide range of liabilities including the disability or death of any scheduled artist, loss or damage of film negative or master videotape.

All equipment associated with the production is covered, including wardrobe, props, sets, cameras and sound equipment.


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.
Many congratulations to all the worthy winners and as always, huge thanks to our sponsors for their support and our judges for their expertise.
