Why Beazley?

Our team has over 30 years of experience providing insurance cover for the events industry. The extensive experience of our underwriters and claims team allows us to provide a “one stop shop” for your insureds’ event insurance needs.

Examples or Scenarios

Our insured advised us of their concern about an adverse weather forecast for their three-day music festival.

We immediately appointed a loss adjuster who met with the insured on-site to work through alterations and suggestions to mitigate the impact of heavy rain during the event.

On the event's third day, the heavy rain turned into a lightning storm, and the officials subsequently closed the event for public safety.

With a plan and communication already in place, the insured was able to reduce their loss, and we quickly made a significant payment for artists' fees. Our claims service assured the insured that their claim was covered, protected their relationship with artists, and provided time to assess the remainder of their expenses.
