Our specialisms

  • Explore Deadly Weapons Protection in the UK

    One of the most difficult risks to defend against is an armed assailant intent on inflicting harm. And devastating attacks aren’t limited to shootings - seemingly everyday items like knives and road vehicles can become deadly weapons.  

    Talk to our underwriters and read how Beazley’s established US cover can help UK companies protect their employees and non-staff members from harm, by reducing the risk of an event and responding effectively should one take place. 

  • Gain enhanced Event Insurance coverage

    We are proud to be the BIBA Scheme Event Insurance provider. BIBA brokers benefit from enhanced commissions on all event cancellation risks and more.

    Our expertise range from covering large conferences, exhibitions, festivals, music tours, and sporting events, to village fetes, weddings, and birthday parties. Our event insurance is available on the myBeazley platform, allowing brokers to quote, buy, and service a range of specialist solutions. Find out more about our cover here.
