Post magazine - 17 January 2013

Post cover 17 January 2013

The latest issue of Post is now available to subscribers as a digital and interactive e-book.

As details unfold of the extent of damage, as well as loss of life and injuries, from this morning's tragic helicopter crash in central London, citizens across the globe are counting their own costs from devastating destruction.

Initial estimates of the wildfires that ravaged Tasmania last week have reached AU$60m (£39m) in insured losses, with the Insurance Council of Australia warning Post that worse is yet to come. It's not the natural catastrophe start to the year the industry would have been hoping for.

In this week's Post you'll also find further analysis and commentary on last week's management changes at Ageas, as well as detail on a high net worth broking start-up launched by the founder of Ageas brand Castle Cover; plus news on how social-media driven distribution is taking the UK industry by storm as insurers make offers to snap up pioneering marketing firm Digital Animal.

Don't miss opinion pieces from Cooper Gay's Toby Esser, Allianz's Andrew Torrance or mediation expert Tim Wallis; detail on the immense salvage efforts underway to remove the Costa Concordia a year after it ran aground as well as analysis on its likely long-term market impact; and how to make every penny of a TV advertising campaign count, especially for those with smaller budgets.

And remember, if you enjoy digesting this electronic version of Post magazine, and own an iPad, make sure you download the Post app to experience a whole new level of interactivity and engagement.
