Lloyd’s broker Tysers has formed a new division to house all its offerings in music, theatre, live events, media & film, and advertising & commercials.
Called “Tysers Live,” the new global unit will service the insurance needs of the entertainment industry. Leading the consolidated proposition is company stalwart Paul Chapman (pictured), whose industry experience spans nearly four decades.
“Tysers Live brings together under one umbrella a brilliantly talented team from key lines of business and reflects our deep commitment to delivering first-class, innovative, nimble wholesale and direct-to-client solutions,” Chapman said in a release. “I am incredibly proud and excited to be leading Tysers Live and know we have a fantastic future ahead.”
According to Tysers, which is part of the AUB Group, the move reflects its parent’s focus on restructuring specialist sectors to bring skills and know-how together into expert teams.
“Tysers Live will be a cutting-edge offering that will set the standard for brokers in the entertainment sector,” declared AUB Group chief executive and managing director Mike Emmett. “It highlights the AUB Group’s commitment to strengthening our position as a premier broker through both organic growth and acquisition.
“Paul’s impressive track record and strong relationships with the market make him the ideal choice to lead the buildout of Tysers Live as a global practice.”
Chapman will be supported by Tysers Live senior management team members John Claffey, Brian Freeman, and Tim Thornhill, with other leaders to be announced in due course. Meanwhile, the division’s growth strategy will include attracting broking teams in major entertainment geographies.
