STAND SECURE AGAINST THE EVOLVING THREAT.

War, Terrorism and Political Violence (WTPV)

A politically-motivated riot causes damage to a town centre forcing police to restrict access; an act of war by a neighbouring state causes extensive damage; an office block destroyed by a terrorist bomb.

Acts of war, terrorism and political violence can have a devastating impact on businesses. In addition to the on-going risk of a catastrophic attack on physical assets, terrorists are adapting their methods to inflict mass casualties. This new threat has resulted in gaps in the coverage provided by conventional insurance policies which can be outdated and short of the cover businesses need today.

THE WTPV THREAT

Malicious attack case study London Bridge – 3rd June 2017

MotivationThree Islamist extremists carried out a vehicle-ramming assault on London Bridge in Central London. Having used the vehicle as a weapon against pedestrians, they proceeded to attack civilians in Borough Market and its neighbouring pubs and restaurants.

WeaponsVehicle, kitchen knives and unused petrol bombs.

Distance/area affectedCordon of 650 metres that was reduced to 300 metres within 36 hours of the incident.

Business impacts in the local areaA 36-hour evacuation and lockdown of all public areas and buildings within the 650 metre cordon. Public transport, mainline rail stations and most road links reopened for partial or full service within 60 hours, whilst Borough Market and some adjacent streets remained closed for seven to ten days. It is estimated that 320 businesses were either physically or financially affected by the cordon.
