The Pride of Hubbard, The End.
The sun is shining its brightest best, grills across the country are being fired up, and normalcy is slowly making a return. In the words of the legendary Nina Simone, “I’m feelin’ good.’

The Pride of Hubbard, Part I
As we mark the beginning of June and the imminent arrival of summer, it’s a good time to turn the spotlight onto what June has become increasingly known for – Pride. Now, Pride Month is more than just a celebration of lifestyles; in fact, it has a rather dark past.

Yet, there is another kind of insurance that makes just as much sense – if not more – than ...
Climate Change is Worse Than You Think
If it seems like weather forecasts are becoming decreasingly accurate and increasingly speculative – well, that’s because they are. Experts use present-day climate models to predict how severe the weather will be in the future; except those predictions are becoming inaccurate because of the destabilisation of weather that has been observed across ...

At the beginning of each year, we try to ‘crystal ball’ where we see the insurance market.

Chief Meteorologist Says There is a "Heightened Threat for Flash Flooding."
The weather seems to be at its moody worst this summer – bright and warm one second but a torrential downpour the next. How can you even begin to prepare for these sort of conditions?
