Building better products to meet evolving client needs

Elisabeth Berry and Tysers' Darren Jarmin talk digital trading and what this evolving environment means for brokers and insurers as we strive to create better value-added services together.



Jess Williams, marketing business partner – broker, is joined by Elisabeth Berry, head of construction sector sales, and Tysers’ development director, Darren Jarmin. The conversation explores how digital trading can reduce turnaround times and increase access for smaller risks, but that face-to-face underwriting remains essential for complex projects.

Reflecting on their strong partnership, they also share a recent collaboration on a new scheme, highlighting their shared commitment to providing tailored solutions and evolving together as client needs change.
