Even as temperatures soared, CLEAR’s intrepid runners pushed on through the heat to make it across the finishing line at this year's London Marathon.

In a climate of increasing cyber-crime, CLEAR asks could data security vulnerabilities in your business expose you to a GDPR fine? And if so, what remedy can cyber insurance provide?

At CLEAR we take the protection of our clients’ data very seriously. So, with the introduction of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we thought we’d let you know what we’re doing to keep your data safe.

The countdown has officially begun for our ‘CLEAR Runnings’ Marathon team, as they get set to run the London Marathon this Sunday, 22nd April.

Our brave team members have been fundraising for some very worthwhile causes – Tommy’s, Mind and Children with Cancer – and have already raised a staggering £16,400 via their team JustGiving page.

This week, we caught up with three of our team members to find out how their training has been going, and here is what they said:

The event was held to support the fundraising efforts of the 11 members of CLEAR who will be racing/staggering/rolling London’s streets on April 22nd as they take on the Virgin London Marathon.

In 2014, CLEAR launched the Pauline Uludag Employee of the Year Award in memory of our well-loved Claims Manager Pauline Uludag, who lost her fight with illness in December 2012 and passed away. Pauline was known for her exemplary standards, cheerful and considerate demeanour and genuine warmth towards clients, colleagues and insurers. The award was set up to recognise those of our staff who go the extra mile like Pauline did.

We had several staff nominations for our award and we were delighted to announce at our recent staff party that the winner of the 2017 award was Andy King. There were also two runner up awards; Amanda Pitchford-Director of the Year and Ellie Read -Young Achiever of the Year.

We are delighted to announce that the third quarter winners of our Pauline Uludag Employee of the Year Award are Georgia Hollis and Andy King. Here's a little bit about our quarter 3 winners, and the reason why our staff voted for them:

Many small- and medium-sized businesses in the UK are risking their own survival by unwittingly remaining underinsured.

The Building Cost Information Service (BCIS) report, although conducted in 2012, revealed that 40% of businesses do not have enough business interruption cover to get them back on their feet. Furthermore, in 25% of SME claims reviewed by the FCA in 2015, the indemnity period expired before they returned to the normal trading position.

You may only find out that your business is underinsured when you experience a major loss event, such as a data breach, flood or fire, and need to make a claim. Be proactive and know your status now so you can fix that gap and be prepared for anything.

In April next year, twelve brave staff members from CLEAR Insurance Management will be running the 2018 Virgin London Marathon to raise money for three chosen charities; Children with Cancer, Tommy’s, and Mind.
