Jo Sykes speaks to Insurance Business about how specialist cover and broker support are coming together to protect life science clients.
In the fast-evolving life science sector, Jo Sykes, Divisional Director – Broker, highlights how tailored insurance solutions are helping brokers safeguard their clients from complex, evolving risks. She explains that while traditional policies often fail to cover the full business lifecycle, specialist products like Life Science Combined are designed to address exposures from R&D through to commercialisation and distribution.
For brokers and their clients, this focus is delivering tangible benefits: policies aligned to actual operational risks, reliable claims handling, and support for emerging challenges such as product recalls, IP disputes, and regulatory compliance. Jo also stresses the importance of sector-specific knowledge, where understanding nuanced risks can prevent costly mistakes and protect reputations.
But insurance is more than policies alone. Our approach combines deep expertise with practical support for brokers, ensuring clients receive the right protection while making complex risks easier to navigate.
