Meet the Market event – March 2024
MEET THE MARKET EVENT – MARCH 2024
On 7th March 2024, Citynet once again hosted its highly anticipated event, Meet the Market.
The event started with a captivating presentation by Jason Ozin – Chief Information Security Officer at PIB Group – shedding light on the ever-evolving cyber landscape. With cyber threats becoming increasingly sophisticated and pervasive, Jason’s presentation served as a wake-up call for all our guests, emphasising the importance of robust cybersecurity measures in today’s interconnected world.
Following the thought-provoking cyber presentation, Citynet’s Property and Casualty, Motor Fleet, Professional Indemnity (PI), and Underwriting departments took the stage to showcase the diverse range of services they offer. Through quick presentations, our guests gained valuable insights into the comprehensive insurance solutions provided by Citynet, tailored to address the unique needs and challenges of various sectors and industries.
Undoubtedly, the highlight of the day was the tour of the iconic Lloyds of London expertly led, once more, by our very own Mark Crisp, Colin Reid, and Anthony Purves. Their extensive knowledge and expertise in all things Lloyd’s provided our guests with a rare opportunity to gain first-hand insights into the inner workings of this famous institution. Renowned as the world’s leading insurance market, Lloyd’s of London holds a storied legacy and remains a cornerstone of the global insurance industry.
In conclusion, the event was met with resounding enthusiasm from all our guests, who praised the informative presentations, the chance of visiting Lloyd’s of London building and the opportunity to network with fellow industry professionals.
We extend our sincere thanks to all our guests, staff members, and speakers for contributing to the success of our Meet the Market event.

Citynet meets with representants of Royal British Legion
IT’S TIME TO DON YOUR POPPIES!
Representatives from the Royal British Legion recently visited Citynet’s office for a collection and brief discussions. It was a proud moment to engage with individuals serving in the armed forces, dedicating their lives to protect the nation. In various ways, we’ve all contributed to show our appreciation and respect for those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in safeguarding our country and its people.
Lloyd’s of London annually hosts a Remembrance Ceremony, and this year’s event is scheduled for Friday, November 10th, where they will ring the Lutine Bell.
For those unfamiliar with the Remembrance Day event, let’s address some common questions:
What does Remembrance Day represent?
Each year, Remembrance Sunday offers a national opportunity to honour the service and sacrifice of those who defended our freedoms and upheld our way of life. We remember the Armed Forces and their families, both from Britain and the Commonwealth, along with the vital role played by emergency services and those who have lost their lives due to conflict or terrorism. From people wearing poppies to moments of silence in remembrance, there are various aspects associated with this special occasion.
When is Remembrance Day?
Each year, the country expresses gratitude and respect for those who lost their lives in wars worldwide on Remembrance Sunday. This day coincides with the actual date of the World War I armistice, which occurred at 11 a.m. on November 11, 1918. Therefore, Remembrance Day will be observed on Saturday, November 11 this year.
When do people start wearing poppies?
Many individuals begin wearing their poppies on October 31, 11 days before Remembrance Day. However, some may wait until after Halloween and Bonfire Night festivities before pinning them.
How to wear a Remembrance Day poppy?
There is ongoing debate about which side to pin your poppy badge. Many argue that it should be worn on the left side, close to the heart, where members of the armed forces also wear their medals. Nonetheless, the Royal British Legion states that there is no “correct way” to wear a poppy if you’re not in the military. They emphasize that it’s a matter of personal choice and simply ask that if you choose to wear a poppy, you do so with pride.
Why do people wear poppies?
Poppies are a tribute to World War I. During the war, the battle-ravaged fields of France and Belgium were left barren. In 1915, Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae wrote about poppies in his famous poem, “In Flanders Fields.” When the war concluded and the land began to recover, red poppies were among the first plants to reappear. Consequently, red poppies became synonymous with the war and the sacrifices made by courageous soldiers. The RBL explains that the American War Secretary, Moina Michael, then purchased poppies to raise funds for those in need following the war.
This symbolic emblem ‘Red Poppy’ was subsequently adopted by the Royal British Legion in 1921 when they launched their first Poppy Appeal.

Their presentation served as a reminder of the constant evolution and innovation within our dynamic industry. In a world where cyber threats continue to pose a significant risk to businesses and individuals, this session highlighted the importance of staying informed and prepared.
However, the true highlight of the event was the Lloyds of London tour, expertly guided by Mark Crisp, Tiku Patel, and Colin Reid. This unique experience provided our guests with a rare glimpse into the inner workings of one of the most prestigious insurance markets in the world. We hope that everyone who had the privilege of participating in the tour found it to be an eye-opening and educational experience.

New brand and new home for COBRA London Markets who join forces to become known as Citynet Insurance Brokers.
Citynet Insurance Brokers are delighted to confirm that COBRA London Markets will be rebranded into Citynet as of 8th November 2021.
Since November 2019, COBRA London Markets (COBRA LM) has joined forces with Citynet. Sharing the same office space, the two brands have become one strong team working together in anticipation of this rebranding moment. Trading for over 21 years, Citynet has a long legacy and a strong reputation in the London Market.
Joining forces with COBRA LM, which has an equally impressive and lengthy legacy, is a natural next step in their evolution to unify the brands under one name. The move will see the Citynet brand becoming a powerhouse in the London Market and providing all its broker partners with an invaluable customer service and an even broader range of products and services.
Over the past two years, some of the COBRA LM and Citynet departments had already merged internally to create a stronger offering. The rebrand will unify as one company under the leadership of Andrew Walsh.
By joining our forces, Citynet is making sure that its broker partners will be the first to benefit, by having even wider access to Lloyd’s and London Markets and expert advice from its employees that have been trading into the market for decades.
“I am very proud of the heritage provided by COBRA London Markets and I’m equally excited about the future, by presenting our proposition to the market under a single brand,” said Andrew Walsh.
The rebranding will be effective from 8th November 2021 for New Business and Renewals issued after that date. For policies which are mid-term, rebranding will take place at renewal, rather than as part of any mid-term adjustment, to minimise disruption for policyholders.
There is no action required on behalf of brokers or policyholders.
While the same team of experts will remain, they will be moving office! The COBRA LM rebranding will coincide with Citynet’s office move.
Same contacts but new office!
The business is moving a stone’s throw from the current office to the newly refurbished 88 Leadenhall Street, London EC3A 3BP. Please update your records with the new address from 8th November 2021. Phone numbers will remain the same, as will the website address (www.citynet.co.uk) and social media accounts: LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter.

#MacmillanCoffeeMorning at Citynet HQ
The #MacmillanCoffeeMorning has become a ‘tradition’ that started almost 30 years ago, in 1990.
Initially, it was a rather small affair with a simple idea: guests would gather over coffee and donate the cost of their cuppa to Macmillan in the process. It proved to be very effective and since the Macmillan Coffee Morning event has become a yearly ‘tradition’ raising over £200 million.
Last year alone, this event has raised an incredible £26,914,382 towards this great cause.
On the 27th September 2019, people all over the country took part in an activity that was tasty, fun and also helped raise funds and awareness for a truly worthy cause.
Cancer can be devastating news for anyone. With one in two of us facing this ‘enemy’ at some point in our lives, the money raised at the #MacmillanCoffeeMorning event throughout the UK will help everyone with cancer to live life as fully as they can.
Here at Citynet Insurance Brokers, all our staff got involved again in the world’s biggest #MacmillanCoffeeMorning.
Each and every one of us has made a special effort by baking, buying and bringing in the most delicious treats. As a result, we are very proud to announce that the Citynet Insurance Brokers team has raised a total of £592.74 that will be donated to Macmillan Cancer Support.
Well done everyone and what a team effort!
Let’s change lives with every slice!
