Navigating the PI Insurance market

John Winter from Apex Insurance, will provide an update on the current issues being experienced by architects when looking for the most suitable policy.

Having worked in insurance for over 20 years, John has spent the last five years predominantly working with Professional Indemnity in the Design & Build sector. He found it frustrating that given the difficult conditions in the PII market, there was a considerable shortage of help and support for those affected. ‘It is what it is’ isn’t the answer he wanted to give to clients and prospects when asked why they were looking at increased premiums or why their Insurer was no longer willing to offer terms. John's open and honest approach led to him being asked to provide a short presentation to a local architect group, which eventually grew to meetings with multiple RIBA regions over the last eighteen months.

The presentations helped highlight a number of areas of concern. Mainly, issues surrounding Fire Safety, Combustibility and Cladding as well as the growing concern surrounding Basement contracts. Following on from the success of previous talks, John thought it would be worth offering a refresher and provide updates on any significant changes.

The updated presentation will last around 20 minutes, followed by an opportunity to raise questions and create discussion, so attendees are invited to come prepared with any queries they have.

Please note: The joining link to the talk will be sent out a week before the event. If you don't receive the link or have any queries please email adam.turner@riba.org
