FEATURES

Early release
A piece of new EU legislation will soon require all secondary intermediaries to have professional indemnity insurance. While other insurers get to grips with the directive, Hiscox has developed a suitable product well in advance.

  Paradise found
From tropical hideaways to French farmhouses, the price is right for property investing overseas.
Dynamic duo
Creativity is the driving force behind Cambridge-based broking firm La Playa, thanks to founders Mark Boon and Matt Mullee.
The innovative duo are making their mark on the insurance industry and have already built up an enviable client base.
  Product passion
Don't mock those avid hoarders of Batman comics and retro furniture. People don't just collect for interest - it makes real financial sense to invest in collectables. Hiscox News reports on the latest trends and how clients can protect their prized possessions.
  Day in the life
With a renewal deadline of October 1, August and September are the busiest months of the year for Mark Shaw and the Solicitors' professional indemnity team, as they deal with the insurance needs of around 1,000 solicitor clients.
