WORK HISTORY
Director, Professional & Financial Risks @W Denis Insurance Brokers Plc
London, GB
I have been tasked with building a ProFin team to build on the existing expertise within the group.The W Denis Group is an entirely independent insurance broker. Our independence from market competitors and other insurance firms empowers us to provide unique insurance policies designed for the most challenging of risks. Unlike other insurance brokers, we do not operate on a pay-to-play basis and we’re exclusively management owned. This means that our clients will always receive the best possible service and not a default pre-existing policy unless appropriate. We believe that no two businesses require the same approach or service from us. Whether you are a large multinational corporation, or a small to medium sized business, we will provide the right solution for your business. Our clients range from aviation to automotive, personal insurance to political risk, medical insurance to financial institutions, with our clients’ requirements at the forefront of our work.Historically, W Denis has worked on the provision of specialist and competitive insurance for UK businesses. Today we pride ourselves on delivering technical insurance and risk management services to businesses across the globe - operating throughout Europe, the Americas, Africa, the Far East and Australasia. W Denis is a member of the Euribron partnership of international brokers. This provides a global service from over 350 offices around the world. So if a business has a manufacturing plant in Kuala Lumpur or call centre in Mumbai or is carrying out a construction project in Beijing, our locally domiciled expert broker partners can provide the compliant support services that are necessaryAs a fully accredited broker at Lloyd’s of London, we have direct access to the Lloyd’s market, and our brokers trade daily with their underwriters in all major classes of insurance. This direct approach with Lloyd’s enables us to achieve truly innovative, intelligent and comprehensive insurance solutions.
ABOUT RICHARD BOWDIDGE
I work closely with my clients to ensure that the risks they face are transferred off their balance sheet in the most appropriate and cost effective manner. I am passionate about providing a level of service and an interest in their business which is sadly all too uncommon in the insurance industry. I have over 30 years experience in the insurance market specialising in the negotiation and placement of PI and D&O programmes for a broad range of clients including Chartered Surveyors, Architects, technology companies, Insurance Brokers, Hedge Funds and Financial Institutions. Additionally I am also the Chairman of The Tom Bowdidge Youth Cancer Foundation. I am Tom’s Father and Founder of The Foundation and I take an active role in the management of the Foundation as well as developing and implementing the strategic vision alongside the Chief Executive Officer and the rest of the Board. In addition, I also take an active part in managing and creating fundraising opportunities, including events and especially corporate partnerships. The Foundation support teenagers and young adults with cancer, providing physical and emotional support as well as funding much needed research.
