Ep 61 A healing market: James Vickers, Chair Willis Re International

Today’s guest is one of the industry’s most experienced and most
respected reinsurance brokers with an incredibly broad and deep
perspective to share on the industry.


His broking house Willis Re is always first out of the blocks
after the major renewal dates with its first view reports into
the state of the reinsurance market


Given the exceptional nature of this particular renewal I was
delighted to have some time with James Vickers Chair, Willis
Re International.


We spoke at length about the hardening market, the impact of the
class of 2020 and of course the potential costs and all the
coverage issues surrounding Covid 19.


James is an exceptionally clear-thinking and eloquent commentator
so I highly recommend the half hour conversation that follows.


And do make sure you accompany this podcast with a read of Willis
Re’s 1.1.21 First View Report which they have entitled Firming
Landscape.
