Specialist risk and insurance solutions for the Hospitality, Sports and Leisure sectors....
Targeted insurance solutions that are just the ticket Oval Hospitality, Sports & Leisure Insight. Service. Performance.
Specialist risk and insurance solutions for the Hospitality, Sports and Leisure sectors Leisure is big business in the UK, worth nearly £220 billion1 a year and employing 2.6 million people2. It’s also the UK’s fifth largest export industry3. A mass-market sector run by people for people, it comes with a varied range of business risk – and delivering the protection you seek for your business is what we do. That’s why it’s good to know there’s a specialist leisure insurance broking partner out there who understands the taste, pace and beat of your industry. It’s easy to overlook just how important the leisure industry is to the fabric of society. It underpins our natural instincts to interact, experience and share - whether it’s down the local, on the pitch or in the front row. But there’s no doubting the pressure that leisure has experienced in recent years: discretionary household spending has been contracting at around four per cent a year since 20093 and extra government regulation and taxation has added an extra £3.2 billion of costs to the industry year-on-year since 20104. Inflationary pressure since 2008 has increased operating costs: by 2011 this meant a pub generating an annual operating profit £100,000 was accruing extra costs of £14,000 a year5. Operational risks are significant and diverse: they span brand, reputation, public safety, health & safety, crisis management, employment, supply chain, environment, infrastructure, seasonality and continuity. That’s why it makes sense to seek an integrated, bespoke approach to your insurance that simplifies complexity, delivers flexibility, maximises your protection and above all, optimises your costs. While risk is part of your business: risk is our business. Oval Insurance Broking (Oval) is one of the UK’s leading insurance brokers and we arrange insurance for many clients across the sports, hospitality and leisure sectors. This commitment helps us deliver the insight, empathy and innovation that ensure your range of commercial insurance policies are simple, competitive, efficient and cost effective. It also provides you with on-demand expertise from people who take the time to understand the rhythm of your business – then translate that knowledge into tailored insurance that works harder for your bottom line.
