Meet The Experts - Richard Taylor

Meet The Experts - Richard Taylor

Experience counts.?

That’s the simple message from Richard Taylor, the UK CEO of HDI Global Specialty SE.? The insurer has always prided itself on the expertise and insight of its people.? It’s what makes HDI stand out as a market leader in what’s otherwise a very competitive specialty insurance market.

“It’s very hard to be different in this world, certainly in the insurance industry,” he says.? “There’s lots of competitors all over the world, especially here in London, and they all have great products, great services, so to distinguish yourself you really have to work hard at it.”

That commitment is evident across the collection of business lines offered by HDI Global Speciality.?

There are more than 30 distinct lines of business offered through 9 global offices.? Everything from Fine Art to Aviation, from Marine to Professional Liability.

Additionally, HDI Global Speciality allows distinct solutions to its network of brokers and MGAs via its Delegated Authority team.

Experts at every level

With such a varied product range, it’s no surprise that HDI has an army of expert underwriters and insurance professionals seeking to identify and mitigate against every conceivable risk.?

It’s those individuals who are the subject of a new series of videos and podcasts called “Meet The Experts”.? It showcases the people that make the business, their motivations, backgrounds and interests.

“Our clients are so varied, and you require expertise to understand their needs. A lot of the teams that work here, either have the passion in the business that they’re underwriting, or they’ve grown up with it,” says Richard.

A lifetime of experience

Richard himself began as an underwriter, so can speak with authority about why it’s important to understand the client’s needs and risk profile and ultimately find the right solution. The nature of certain risks – for example Bloodstock & Equine – requires a very detailed, and at times, quite niche understanding.?

HDI is a people-first organisation.? It makes a virtue of employing experts who don’t just appreciate the risks they underwrite; they live and breathe them.? Many have first-hand personal experience, having grown up in the specific market, thereby gaining an unrivalled insight.

It’s those insights and experience that the podcast series aims to demonstrate; showing the human element at the centre of the HDI Global Specialty offering, because finding the right solution is at the heart of the company’s mission.?

“We are committed for the long term for our clients and brokers, and you can’t make that level of commitment without reassurance and support,” he says.?“By having these experts within our organisation, we can engage and create that level of comfort.”
