The Insurance Coffee House

For anyone that has any connection with insurance you’ll probably know already that the original insurance markets started in the Lloyds Coffee House where people sat next to each other and agreed to add their names one under another to prove insurance for ships travelling the world – hence the insurance term ‘underwriter.’

Well the coffee house ashy developed a little since then and while underwriting at Lloyds still shares some similarities with its predecessor fortunately the Insurance Coffee House has taken the future by the scruff of the next and launched a podcast. The first edition is out now and I hope you enjoy listening as much as I did in making it.

Do you want an umbrella with that?

As with all choices selecting the right take away coffee has taken on a level of complexity that was thought impossible only a few years ago. And so as I start off on my regular walk around the local park I am almost always sidetracked by what I’m going to order from my local cafe.

Now to be fair to them they don’t yet seem to be in the same league as Starbucks but there is enough to give me pause for thought. And as usual this time I managed to choose the iced coffee and after walking round the corner into a rain shower I immediately wanted the hot cappuccino.

And obviously this got me thinking about Jeremy Vine the UK BBC Radio Presenter.
