TIGA, thetrade association representing the UK games industry, has welcomed Sayce Insurance
Brokers as its latest member.
Specialist
insurance brokerage for the games and technology industry, Sayce Insurance
Brokers, is the only insurance broker to become a member of TIGA, the
non-profit trade association representing the UK’s games industry.
TIGA’s
membership includes independent games developers, developer-publishers, in-house
publisher owned developers, outsourcing companies, technology businesses and
universities.
Scott Sayce, Managing Director at Sayce
Insurance Brokers, says:
“The UK is home to some of the most progressive
game developers and publishers in Europe including the studios that developed
the hugely successful Grand Theft Auto IV. The industry is estimated to
currently contribute around £1 billion to UK GDP and PWC suggests that the
global market for games will grow to almost $90 billion in 2014.
“The gaming
industry has some pretty unique insurance requirements covering intellectual
property rights and breach of contract as well as the more general business
covers. However it is a sector that few in the insurance industry really
understand. My team has over a decade of knowledge both from an insurance
underwriting and broking perspective and we know the insurers that also
understand this sector. In becoming a TIGA member, we’re looking forward to
providing valuable advice and insurance solutions to members of the games
industry to help them achieve commercial success.”
Dr
Richard Wilson, TIGA CEO, comments:
“Good
insurance advice and products relating to issues such as IP and contracts, can
be invaluable. TIGA hopes that Sayce Insurance Brokers will contribute to the
important process of developers and digital publishers building successful and
sustainable businesses.”
