Property Claims managers continue to face many challenges. Cost control,
customer service, fire and weather related claims still dominate the area, and
all have become more acute than ever.
Despite a fall in volume, the cost of fire claims is still rising. Equally
this winter has been hit by flooding, storms and most recently snow, which has
cost the economy an estimated £690m a day.
As the frequency and severity of these weather events increases, we will also
be forced to confront environmental issues. The insurance industry has an
opportunity to encourage the use of environmentally friendly materials and
sustainable building repairs. But to what extent is it the insurer's
responsibility to enforce these changes, and how can we evaluate the long term
cost benefits for claims?
Post is delighted to announce the launch of a flagship conference catering
for the entire UK general insurance industry. Comprising a two-day programme of
essential strategic content and a networking dinner, The British Insurance
Summit 2010 will bring together insurers, brokers and service providers to hear
from industry leading speakers and debate the issues affecting our industry as
we emerge from the economic downturn. The agenda for this event will be
thoroughly researched to reflect the most current, business critical issues
facing us all in 2010 and beyond.
