Chubb launches new media industry practice for the UK and Ireland
Insurer Chubb has launched a new media industry practice for the UK and Ireland in response to "segment growth and feedback from key broker partners".
The media industry practice offering includes a range of coverages for media liability, cyber, property and casualty as well as personal accident and travel.
Chubb said the latest addition is aimed at Middle Market and multinational businesses, bringing the insurer's specialist capabilities in underwriting, claims management and multinational servicing into one client-focused proposition.
The new practice will be led by Karen Strong, head of industry practices. The proposition will also benefit from a bespoke underwriting team led by Siân Rolfe, UK and Ireland media manager.
Sara Mitchell, head of middle market division, UK and Ireland, Chubb said: "The launch of our new Media Industry Practice demonstrates our commitment to further develop this area of our business and to ensure that we build upon our offering. During 2019 we will be looking to expand the team further and to build additional capability to support our growth in this market."
