Andrew Walsh is named Chief Executive Officer of Citynet

Andrew-Walsh-Managing-Director-570x380_low res

Citynet Insurance Brokers, a leading wholesale Lloyd’s broker in the UK, has promoted Andrew Walsh to the role of Chief Executive Officer. His role which has been approved by the FCA is focused on specialty difficult risks in Lloyds and London Market insurers.

Andrew brings a significant amount of experience to his role, having held a number of senior positions in his career spanning over 25 years, all of which have been gained while working within Lloyds and London Market.

His career with Citynet started in 2011 to head up the Motor Fleet Department, progressing rapidly while gaining a track record in delivering against ambitious growth, sales, and service ambitions. In 2014 Andy was appointed to the Board of Directors and three years later he took on the role of Managing Director ahead of the acquisition of Citynet by PIB Group.

Andrew’s appointment is one of a series of executive moves at PIB Group whose growth is set to accelerate in 2022 and beyond, particularly across Europe. The moves aim to strengthen the Group’s corporate structure and governance as part of the next phase in its evolution in building a leading pan-European commercial insurance brokerage.

New brand and new home for COBRA London Markets who join forces to become known as Citynet Insurance Brokers.

Cobra-Lm-Rebrand-web

Citynet Insurance Brokers are delighted to confirm that COBRA London Markets will be rebranded into Citynet as of 8th November 2021.

Since November 2019, COBRA London Markets (COBRA LM) has joined forces with Citynet. Sharing the same office space, the two brands have become one strong team working together in anticipation of this rebranding moment. Trading for over 21 years, Citynet has a long legacy and a strong reputation in the London Market.

Joining forces with COBRA LM, which has an equally impressive and lengthy legacy, is a natural next step in their evolution to unify the brands under one name. The move will see the Citynet brand becoming a powerhouse in the London Market and providing all its broker partners with an invaluable customer service and an even broader range of products and services.

Andrew Walsh

Over the past two years, some of the COBRA LM and Citynet departments had already merged internally to create a stronger offering. The rebrand will unify as one company under the leadership of Andrew Walsh.

By joining our forces, Citynet is making sure that its broker partners will be the first to benefit, by having even wider access to Lloyd’s and London Markets and expert advice from its employees that have been trading into the market for decades.

“I am very proud of the heritage provided by COBRA London Markets and I’m equally excited about the future, by presenting our proposition to the market under a single brand,” said Andrew Walsh.

The rebranding will be effective from 8th November 2021 for New Business and Renewals issued after that date. For policies which are mid-term, rebranding will take place at renewal, rather than as part of any mid-term adjustment, to minimise disruption for policyholders.

There is no action required on behalf of brokers or policyholders.

While the same team of experts will remain, they will be moving office! The COBRA LM rebranding will coincide with Citynet’s office move.

 

88 Leadenhall StreetSame contacts but new office!

The business is moving a stone’s throw from the current office to the newly refurbished 88 Leadenhall Street, London EC3A 3BP. Please update your records with the new address from 8th November 2021. Phone numbers will remain the same, as will the website address (www.citynet.co.uk)  and social media accounts: LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter.

With extensive access to the leading insurance and re-insurance markets, we provide products designed to offer cover to further protect your clients. To offer complete support to our broker clients, we regularly review our products and add new A rated markets for motor fleet risks.

Courier insurance protects individuals and businesses that run with high daily mileage and make multi-drop deliveries on a time-sensitive basis. If your clients don’t have Goods in Transit cover, it might be that this is something that they should consider as they will be responsible for any loss, damage, or theft that happens to the goods when delivering them between a business and a customer.

Our team experts are also able to provide you with the right advice on telematics devices that are proved to help your clients keep costs down. We have markets available to us that embrace the use of technology to drive down claims costs which ultimately results in reduced premium spends.

Cyber 2021

GET YOUR BUSINESS PROTECTED – STAY CYBER SAFE!

 

Cybercriminals are plotting to breach your network right now… but what can you do to prevent it?

It’s a known fact that small businesses are more likely to be targeted by cybercriminals than any other business or organization.

While we only hear about major breaches on the news, we don’t get to hear the stories of the businesses that struggle with cyber breaches and cyber-attacks.

Why are small businesses targeted more?

Hackers love to go after small businesses for one very big reason: small businesses are less likely to invest in top-notch or even worthwhile cybersecurity protection or cyber insurance.

The reason comes down to many factors but the two in particular are: lack of resources and lack of knowledge. Of course, this is a wider subject of discussion, as hackers also look at a business’s customer base and the type of data the business shares online. Hackers go after targets they can profit from, whether they hold a business’s data hostage and demand a ransom or they launch a carefully plotted phishing attack.

Some businesses make it past the attack unscathed, but many don’t. Their data might be compromised in one way or another.

So, what can you do about this and how can you protect your business?

First and foremost, you have to realize YOUR business is a target, regardless if you’ve never been hacked before (it might just mean the hackers haven’t gotten to you just yet). Aside from a good business risk assessment, you have to look at getting cyber insurance protection in case an unfortunate situation arises.

To help you with this, Citynet Insurance Brokers provide fully tailored and comprehensive cyber insurance solutions. Our team of experienced professionals is working with a wide number of markets and can put together the right solution for your or your client’s business needs.
