NMU looks back at 2021
Authored by NMU
As we enter 2022, we would like you to join us in looking back at our key highlights which sparked the most excitement within the broker community in 2021. It was a busy year for us as we continued to produce insight and tools, so we’ve highlighted some of the most read content of the year and made it easy to find in our round up article.
Cargo
Throughout the year, we have published several cargo risk reports in conjunction with our supply chain partners and other articles which brokers and clients alike have found useful and insightful from supply chain topics to general articles and how to overcome common cover objections.
- Cargo crime and the rise of insider threat
- Fake logistics actors exploiting cyber weaknesses in the supply chain
- Cargo ‘Overcoming Objections’ podcast
- Complete cargo solution delivering via Acturis
- Fast Track Claims: Simplifying small cargo losses
Cyber
Technology is constantly evolving in the digital age, and so are cyber threats. We produced several articles to highlight and help you understand the latest cyber threats.
- Cyber ‘Overcoming Objections’ podcast
- Cyber security threats SMEs (small and medium enterprises need to be aware of in 2021
- Cyber security awareness month roundup
- Defending against cyber and hardware threats
Terrorism
Risk managers and security experts believe that the introduction of Protect Duty legislation could have a similar impact to that GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) had with data security and data handling, so it’s important to start to think about the potential requirements for businesses now.
NMU’s Terrorism Underwriting Manager, Gary Barlow talked to Insurance Age editor, Sian Barton about the changing terrorism threat landscape in the UK and how the business is adapting to the evolving threat and the ongoing debate around Martyn’s law for the 2021 Products Edition here.
Engineering
We have compiled a few examples of how we assisted broker partners place exposures for policyholders, supported by our in-house experts, and how we can do the same for you.
Awards
Finally, we are immensely proud to have been recognised in Insurance Age’s Broker Satisfaction survey, winning ‘Gold’ in the category of Commercial Lines – Strongest for Service Award, and we thank our broker partners for voting for us.
