Our appetite for Print, Publishing and Media


We prefer businesses that:
 

  • are well-established and financially stable
  • have a proactive approach to reporting changes to the risk
  • place a high importance on keeping up to date with legislation and trade issues
  • document HR procedures appropriately
  • want a long-term partnership with both their broker and insurer.
     


These are preferred types of risk - but we're happy to discuss other cases too:
 

  • publishing of books
  • newspapers and journals
  • bookbinding and finishing
  • digital media
  • plate making
  • screen printing
  • lithographic.
