Media, Sports and Leisure Insurance

We provide worldwide (excluding USA) contingency insurance coverage to protect those active in the media, entertainment, sport and leisure business against fortuitous loss.

We are committed to providing a bespoke contingency product, delivered by a combination of underwriting expertise and considerable capacity.

Coverage highlights:

  • Event cancellation (including adverse weather)
    Our event cancellation policy is designed to protect those that have a vested interest in running, organising or operating indoor or outdoor events for their ascertained loss of costs, expenses, or, revenue. The coverage is provided for any type of cancellation, abandonment, interruption, rescheduling, or postponement of any event beyond the control of the insured. Moreover, our policy goes beyond traditional "all risk" coverages by providing cover for adverse weather as well as judicial injunction.
  • Non-appearance
    Our non-appearance policy provides indemnity against loss due to the non-performance of speakers or performers and other key individuals where the event is dependent upon an individual or group of individuals.
  • Prize indemnification
    Our prize indemnity policy is intended to cover any individual or firm who offers an incentive to customers, clients or product spokespeople, a prize that can be won through skill, chance or athletic endeavour.
  • Telecast interruption
    Telecast interruption is designed to cover those in the broadcast industry who may suffer a loss due to a failure to broadcast certain programming.
  • Over redemption
    Our over redemption policy is intended to indemnify those involved in the product marketing business for losses incurred by the redemption of money saving or free product coupons in excess of an expected redemption amount. Usually, these coupons are found in circulars, on merchandise, or, at the point of purchase.
  • Death and disgrace risks
    To cover the loss of production costs/media costs following the necessary cancellation of an advertising campaign due to death, serious injury, illness or disgrace of the spokesperson (named insured person)
  • Film and commercial television production
    We offer coverage to cover most aspects of film and commercial television production.
  • Customer-specific manuscript wordings
    We have the ability to innovate and develop policies that can "fit" your specific requirements.
