Commercial insurance specialist NIG has won a contract to underwrite for Event Insurance Services (EIS), giving them insurance access to the Olympics and Diamond Jubilee.
EIS is one of the biggest event insurance companies in the UK, with 2,500 broker partners and relationships with 1,000 of the countries top venues and hotels.
Lucy Scurlock-Jones, Managing Director at EIS, said, “EIS is moving to NIG as we feel this is the right partner for us and our customers.
“We believe NIG is a more bespoke insurer which will enable us to continue to meet the needs of our customers – NIG have presented a positive and exciting future with a ‘hands on’ approach to their commitment of a closing working relationship with EIS.
“Being a niche market provider it is imperative that we have an insurer who not only supports our knowledge of the sector but who is prepared to allow us to use the tools with which to do the job and enable us to grow.
“Exciting opportunities for growth exist with the Diamond Jubilee and London 2012 – the expectation is that these opportunities will allow us to grow substantially with NIG’s support.”
Chris Robinson, an Area Underwriting Manager at NIG, added, “We worked hard to bring EIS over to NIG: By recognising their market strength and expertise, and responding quickly with the fitted and flexible solution we specialise in, we were able to secure EIS as a new client within a very short timeframe.
“We will continue to work hard to support EIS’ plans for ambitious growth in 2012 and beyond.”
