Insurance Post’s Time To video series

 

Post is inviting leading voices from across the industry to take part in our Time To video series at this year’s Biba Conference (13–14 May in Manchester).

To reflect the conference theme, Time To, we’re asking experts to visit Post’s stand (E85) to record a 10-minute, filmed interview sharing three things it’s time for the industry to do to raise its game:

  • What steps should insurers take to improve operational efficiency, meet regulatory demands, manage customer expectations, or deliver seamless, personalised cover?
  • How can insurers enhance product development, claims management, communication, or improve talent attraction and retention?
  • How should data, artificial intelligence, or technology be used today to create competitive advantage and transform underwriting or pricing strategies?

 

Spokespeople should be able to summarise their advice in just three concise bullet points, which will appear on screen in the final edited video.

 

If you have a spokesperson attending Biba who would like to take part, please email Emma Ann Hughes (emma.hughes@infopro-digital.com) with:

 

  • Their name and job title.
  • Three bullet-point insights they’d like to share.
  • A 15-minute window when they’re available to film.

 

Motor Week is back! 

 

Insurance Post will once again be examining the latest risks, trends, innovations and policies shaping the motor insurance industry in 2026.

 

Topic: Rural roads and the risk to motor insurers

 

Writer: Emma Ann Hughes (emma.hughes@infopro-digital.com)

Deadline: Wednesday 18 March  

 

Rural roads remain disproportionately deadly. Over the last decade to 2024, 10,000 lives were lost on Britain’s countryside roads - almost three every day - and fatalities on these roads are two-thirds higher than in urban areas.

For insurers, this is not just a societal issue - it directly affects claims, premiums, and risk management. Insurance Post will examine how insurers can respond, what tools and insights they can provide to policyholders, and how they can influence safer behaviour on countryside roads.

  • How are insurers using claims and telematics data to better understand and price the risk on rural roads?
  • What initiatives or education programmes can insurers implement to reduce rural road fatalities among policyholders?
  • How are insurers factoring rural road risk into premiums and coverage options without penalising vulnerable drivers?
  • What role can insurers play in national or local road safety campaigns to influence driver behaviour and protect lives?

 

Motor News  

 

Deputy Editor Scott McGee is looking to interview motor leaders at insurance and loss adjusting companies about:

  • How are insurers responding to government initiatives on road safety, EV adoption, and autonomous vehicle testing?
  • Insurers report a “worrying uptick” in fraudulent documentation and fake licences. What steps are being taken to detect and prevent fraud?
  • How is the industry adapting to the challenges of modern vehicle technology, which is more complex and expensive to repair?
  • What impact have longer repair times had on courtesy cars and credit hire?
  • What strategies are in place to manage claims involving uninsured drivers, and how do these incidents impact premiums and overall risk?
  • How are insurers ensuring fair claims handling in light of FCA concerns?

 

Please email scott.mcgee@infopro-digital.com by Friday 13 March to arrange an interview.

 

Features

 

Topic: Risk, reward and insurance challenges of nuclear-powered shipping

 

Writer: Tim Evershed (mail@timevershed.co.uk)

Deadline: Wednesday 18 March   

 

A UK consortium plans to launch nuclear-powered ships in the early 2030s, aiming to position Britain as a maritime superpower while reducing the carbon footprint of traditional shipping. 

While nuclear propulsion offers clear environmental and strategic advantages, it also raises substantial operational, financial, and safety risks. 

For insurers, these vessels present a new and complex exposure class that requires careful assessment. 

  • How can insurers assess and price the unique risks associated with nuclear propulsion at sea?
  • What coverage gaps or exclusions might be needed for hull, liability, or environmental exposures?
  • How can historical data from existing nuclear vessels inform underwriting models and premiums?
  • What role can insurers play in incentivising safety and risk mitigation for nuclear-powered fleets?

 

Topic: Managing blackout exposure in the freight sector

 

Writer:  Fiona Nicolson (fiona.nicolson@googlemail.com)

Deadline: Wednesday 18 March   

 

Grid failures are becoming more frequent, while ports’ reliance on highly automated, electrically powered infrastructure continues to intensify. 

Insurance Post examines how this growing vulnerability is creating significant operational, safety and liability risks across the global freight and logistics sector.

  • How do power outages cascade through ports and wider logistics networks?
  • What insurance, claims and liability implications arise from blackout-related disruptions?
  • What steps can be taken by terminals to reduce downtime, losses and safety impacts during grid failures?

 

No, you can’t get final sign-off

Dear PR friends,
Following some requests received by Insurance Post's freelancers and in-house journalists, we’d like to clarify a few points regarding quotations.

  • We prefer you to trust us and not ask to check the quotations. Interviews are recorded; the points made by the spokesperson will be reported faithfully.
  • For features, if you need to get the quotes approved, let us know in advance and get them signed off well within deadline. You’ll be able to see your spokesperson’s quotes, not the whole article.
  • In some cases (technical points, figures, dates, unusual spellings), we’re happy for you to check we didn’t make mistakes.
  • Only factual mistakes will be amended.
  • We have a style guide and we’ll stick to it.

If you find these rules unreasonable, you may opt out of contributing comments. But we hope to continue working with you in a constructive and trusting atmosphere.
