Alan Chandler will briefly explain the history and how the D&O market place is changing, including the fact that many more directors are being sued individually and also the fact that the amount of HSE prosecutions have trebled against individual directors since 2015. This is no longer a cover that ANY director can ignore, and ironically if a director refuses D&O without consulting their fellow directors they have massively increased their own personal D&O exposure! Too many brokers are saying to their clients that the maximum limit a company should set for D&O is the sum total of all the directors personal assets - this is wrong and will lead to a PI claim against that broker! Alan runs his own training and consultancy business, so does not come with any agenda for promoting a specific insurer's wording. This presentation will be focusing on how to make it easy to understand the main purpose of this valuable cover.

The presentation looks at the differences between SIPP and SSAS and goes in to more detail in looking at some of the main features of SSAS, including the loanback facility. It also examines the pros and cons of commercial property purchase in a SIPP/ SSAS and some of the main points to consider when looking at this.

This presentation entitled the Perfect Storm, will be exploring why capacity is draining out of the UK insurance market and why we are moving into a very hard market where niche covers will be difficult to place. It is difficult to imagine a worse start to a year for the UK insurance market than 2020, and the problem is that the market was already in all sorts of trouble coming into 2020 !! The presentation will be delivered by Alan Chandler who is one of the most popular presenters in the UK insurance market. Alan will explore how Solvency II, the recent stock market crash,Ogden, Soft rating , Floods and now Bi and Covid-19 have all combined to create the perfect storm and how rates will have to significantly increase with many high risk businesses facing the prospect of getting no alternative quotes.

This comprehensive and interactive one hour webinar will focus on the critical financial aspects of riding this storm - overall business solvency, (compliance with adequate resources COND 2.4), looking at key areas of the business, revised requirements of senior managers, reviewing expenditure, reliance on key clients, HMRC help, furloughing, cutting unnecessary spending and looking ahead. It is a one stop shop for knowing what has to be done in a compliant and timely manner.
