ABOUT

Untitled%20design%20(3)_edited.jpg

My career began in The City in 1980 at Commercial Union,  learning the basics of underwriting,  before diversifying into broking and claims in the London and provincial markets. A focus on commercial insurance, national and international programmes, including their design, wordings, placement and claims, matching theory to practice. This breadth of experience enables me
to provide wide-reaching examples to pass my knowledge on to others.

Sue Taylor is a multi-faceted insurance specialist, trainer, accredited author, and consultant. A background in placement and claims provides a unique and rounded approach
