Zurich’s Commercial business has broken new ground by securing a high profile and profitable scheme targeted at media production companies, studios and rental companies.
Zurich’s Branch Manager for Sutton Commercial, Roy Standish explains; "Allan Chapman & James (ACJ) are the market leading specialist media industry brokers. They were looking for an insurer who could understand media customers' business, and offer cover on production property such as props, sets, costumes and multimedia cover for damage to film, video tapes and sound tracks. So naturally we were pleased to agree to an exclusive deal that means we will provide coverage in the sector."
Terry Austin, ACJ’s managing director commented: "We are delighted to be working closely with Zurich, and I’m looking forward to forging a strong relationship in the future." The agreement heralds the launch of a completely new policy wording designed to maintain ACJ’s leading position in the market.
