Lloyd’s Europe sponsored the Semana del Seguro (Spanish Insurance Week), hosting its own area and a round table about the Spanish Underwriting Agencies on the 15 and 16 of February in Madrid.
INESE is the main organiser of the Semana del Seguro. This is an annual event which, in this edition, celebrated its 30 Anniversary and was visited by around 4,000 delegates, all professionals of the Spanish insurance market.
On the 15 February Lloyd’s hosted a Meeting Point with 13 Spanish and Portuguese Coverholders having their own boxes to greet visitors and explain them their insurance solutions. In this edition there was also a meeting corner which offered Coverholders the opportunity to meet Mark Cooper and raise all questions they could have about Lloyd’s Europe and its strategy in the region.
On the 16 February Lloyd’s hosted a live round table, moderated by Jose Núñez, with 4 Lloyd’s Coverholders and a Lloyd’s Broker to discuss their point of view and the current situation of the underwriting agencies in Spain, highlighting their strengths and stating that although this figure is not as developed in Spain as in other EU countries, they are a very good platform of choice to place business.
