Beazley expands media coverage via recently acquired MGA Creechurch

Specialist insurer Beazley has introduced errors and omissions (E&O) and media liability coverage for TV/film producers through the company's newly-acquired Canadian operations.

Beazley recently acquired the specialist managing general agent (MGA) Creechurch Underwriters in Canada. The new coverages will be made available through Creechurch offices in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver, which now operate under Beazley.

Angela Weaver, Beazley's focus group leader for media, said: "We're delighted to expand the availability of our specialist coverage for the TV and film production and media industries to Canadian firms. Our experienced underwriters work with brokers and clients to develop the optimal coverage for each project to suit their specific needs.”

Phil Baker, head of Beazley’s Canadian operations, said: "We are pleased to have Ana Bursack, an experienced media and entertainment underwriter, lead this initiative in Canada while on secondment from our London office. We are thrilled to be able to launch the first of many new products we will be bringing to the Canadian market."
