Broker breakfasts serve up an exciting menu
In January, Catlin launched a series of broker breakfasts, designed to give busy brokers the chance to join Catlin underwriters and learn what’s happening across the Select and Online portfolio. There’s also the added bonus of a buffet breakfast to get the day off to great start.
"This new initiative has proved really beneficial to both Catlin and its brokers," says Catlin Marketing Executive, Katherine Ross. "We have attracted upward of 35 brokers at each session. And the feedback we have so far received has been encouraging. Brokers find the sessions invaluable to learn about a particular line of business and to get answers to their questions. Our underwriters find meeting so many of our brokers face to face an invaluable networking opportunity.
"In view of this initial success, we have decided to extend the schedule of events (originally published in the January newsletter) from March through to year end. We have augmented the breakfasts hosted by James McHugh on Life Sciences in January and those currently taking place on terrorism with Piers Tuggey with events in May, July, September and November on other lines of business. They include crisis management, binders, D&O and casualty.
"Our markets are dynamic and our product portfolio continues to develop and expand in range and scope to meet broker and client needs. Our broker breakfasts give us the chance to bring our brokers up to speed and to take on board their comments the service we provide. We are also a people business. Meeting informally to network and share experiences helps foster and renew relationships – worthwhile activities in their own right."
Below is an updated schedule of our broker breakfasts. If you’d like to attend one of the events, just contact the Catlin host. How do you like your eggs? Sunny side up?
