Market Life Cycles and the Challenges of a Hard Market

The Insurance Institute of Perth and Dundee is delighted to welcome back Sue Taylor to present on this very topical subject.

We hear about market cycles, but what are they, how are they caused and why do they come and go? What impact do these cycles have on insurance buying patterns and claims and how do we explain to an insured that an event on the other side of the world might impact them? All these points plus more will be covered by Sue Taylor, who by her own admission, has seen numerous cycles but has learnt by experience.
