Expertise in action: Q&A with Zurich's head of SME
As the online economy continues to grow, businesses face an ever expanding array of threats that could destabilise day-to-day operations.
And with SMEs now playing a growing role in the web economy, it is no longer just the multi-nationals and large corporates that need to consider the scope of these risks.
In this video, the latest in an on-going campaign in association with Zurich Insurance under the banner Expertise in Action, Zurich Insurance's head of SME underwriting Russell Corbould-Warren discusses how insurers and brokers can work together to highlight the reality of these threats to SME clients.
Corbould-Warren outlines a number of potential areas of exposure, how products and services are evolving and the regulations brokers need to know to help SME clients be more resilient.
