How can brokers and insurers give a voice to their heritage clients’ concerns? with Faith Kitchen from Ecclesiastical

Run time: 14.57

Description:

Ecclesiastical’s latest Heritage Risk Barometer has recently been released. Compiled following 500 interviews with heritage leaders across the sector, the report offers an insightful lens into the key concerns and issues facing heritage organisations and provides suggested routes to managing the risks. These include the alarming economic consequences of the cost-of-living crisis, increasing inflation and the rising cost of building materials, alongside difficulties surrounding staff and volunteer recruitment and retention, sustainability and crime.

Throughout the episode, we discuss the report’s key findings, and the profound importance of listening to customer needs when considering proposition development, which can facilitate improvements to broker services. The Heritage Risk Barometer is listed in the resources below.

Quote:

“What the barometer is doing is giving the sector a voice. It is raising these issues, and it's helping our audience, brokers in particular, to have a different type of conversation with their clients or their prospects, understanding their needs, and the issues that surround their environment in a bit more detail.”
