Using materials found in the Intact Insurance and IIL archives, hear about the impact that WWII had on the insurance industry in Liverpool. As part of the 2025 Poppy Appeal commemorations, join us for this webinar where Tracey Fisher will be sharing the story of how the insurance industry in Liverpool experienced the blitz and the impact that this had across the city. Using information found in the archives and additional research that has been undertaken, hear about the changes that had been made prior to the war and how in some cases, the impact lasted for many years after WW2 had ended. A chance to hear about some light hearted aspects along with stories of bravery and in some cases pure bad luck that were faced during WWII.

On 7 February 1941, Combined Operations moved to Derby House at Exchange Flags because German aircraft and U-boats were attacking ships travelling in from the continent. The department became known as Western Approaches Command. Join IIL for a guided tour of Western Approaches to hear about the hugely important and vital role that Derby House played in WW2. Staffed by women of the Women’s Royal Naval Service, affectionately known as Wrens, and the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force, or Waafs. Often no more than girls, between the ages of 18 and 21, who had either volunteered to help the war effort and ‘do their bit’ or had been specifically recruited because of their mathematical or analytical abilities. This is an opportunity to visit the wartime bunker that has been restored to exactly how it used to be and is open to the public as a memorial to those who died to save Britain and the rest of Europe. We will be able to take a step back into history to the original building where the battle was fought and won.
