Bissell & Partners places contingency risks into Lloyd’s and the London Market on behalf of retail brokers and MGAs. Event cancellation is our most common contingency line — protecting organisers of events of all sizes against the financial impact of cancellation, abandonment and postponement — alongside wider contingency exposures such as non-appearance and adverse weather.
What our contingency cover protects against
Cancellation & Abandonment
Protection against irrecoverable costs and lost revenue when an event has to be cancelled, abandoned or postponed for reasons beyond the organiser’s control.
Adverse Weather
Cover for weather-related disruption to outdoor and weather-dependent events, where conditions force cancellation, curtailment or reduced attendance.
Non-Appearance
Cover for the financial consequences of a key speaker, performer or participant failing to appear, where their absence undermines the event.
