The Hospitality and Leisure sector is experiencing rapid expansion and liberalisation in the UK.

With 24-hour drinking laws now in place, several ‘super-casinos’ around the country waiting to be built, and the startling rise of online gaming, there are many more ways for people to spend their disposable income.

New risks accompany these new opportunities, however.

The UK government wants companies to demonstrate social responsibility in areas such as drinking and gambling. In a sector where many depend on a license to operate, the withdrawal of their license would spell catastrophe.

Marsh has a team of full-time professionals dedicated to the insurance and risk needs of this sector.

We work in such areas as:

• pubs, restaurants, hotels and nightclubs
• casinos, bookmakers, online gaming and race courses
• health and fitness
• travel
• attractions

The Risk Consulting Practice of Marsh is able to assist clients with regard to a number of different risk areas, including:

• public liability

• cyber-risk
• business risk reviews
• terrorism threat assessments
• security planning and implementation
• fire risk assessments
• training
• emergency response/contingency planning
• business continuity
• product liability
• forensic accounting and claims services.

Many of our clients are market leaders – a reflection of the trust placed in us by the sector.
