Flamingos to Bangkok

Flamingos by a lake.

Arranging insurance for a shipment of flamingos is just one of many bespoke covers Bellwood Prestbury Senior Broker Paul (Bunny) Hutchison has arranged over a long career.

Paul tells us:

"I use my experience for the benefit of clients to create non-standard international insurance solutions that support their operations in high-risk industries and remote or complex situations. Lloyd’s is the world’s leading specialist insurance market and I have been actively broking there for over 20 years.

"I have traditionally advised clients across Cyber, Directors’ & Officers’, General Liability and Professional Liability insurance. This covers a wide range of sectors, from renewable energy, utilities and financial institutions, to professional services and miscellaneous hard-to-categorise enterprises.

"I love the weird and wonderful. I once arranged insurance for the shipping of a flock of flamingos enroute from Miami to Bangkok. I’m currently working with clients in Malta on various insurance projects in Libya and Mali. I have been instrumental in helping a start-up with revolutionary waste recycling technology to arrange necessary cover to support a global launch.

"My longstanding relationships with specialist underwriters at Lloyd’s and with global providers has enabled me to create tailored solutions and bespoke cover for many clients. I love a challenge, so just let me know how I can assist you."
