Travelers responds to ‘growing broker demand’

Spotlight

Travelers is expanding its event cancellation cover to give regional brokers more access.

The insurer is expanding the product from its Lloyd’s syndicate, Syndicate 5000, to its insurance company operation.

It said this was part of its strategy to leverage its products across both platforms.

The new product is designed for commercial businesses staging events such as annual general meetings, conferences, trade shows and corporate entertainment.  

Alex Clegg, product manager, media & entertainment at Travelers said: “Although this cover has been available through our syndicate for a couple of years we have seen a growing demand from non-Lloyd’s brokers and regional brokers. 

“By launching a bespoke version of our product through our insurance company operation, we are making our products more accessible for these brokers and progressing the company’s goal of offering a broader range of products to our broker partners and customers.”

Travelers began to write event cancellation cover through its Lloyd’s syndicate in 2009.

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.
