How the travel industry is embracing change, getting back on their feet and back in the air.
Like the thousands of empty suitcases gathering dust under beds around the country, the travel industry has been truly grounded by Covid-19. Over half of UK consumers have either cancelled or decided against going on a holiday that was already booked (Mintel). And who can blame them? When it comes to safety, uncertainty is a deal breaker, no matter how good the duty-free, onboard film selection or lure of sunnier climates are. As the saying goes… Safety first.
But the headlines of horror don’t tell the full story. Nor do they do justice to the resilience of the nation and the travel industry as a united force going forward (and upward). Alongside the government’s announcement to lift some European travel restrictions from the 6th of July, we’ve been fortunate enough to speak to expert marketers from brands including Virgin Atlantic, Eurotunnel, and National Express about how they’ve navigated and harnessed change in the face of adversity – sensitively and creatively. And we are starting to see little pockets of optimism and opportunity.
Throughout this edition of Outlook you will see many references to the celebrations held across the company on February 26th, the day CMV was incorporated, in 1934, 80 years ago. And there will be more events to come in the next few months, including special staff and partner dinners, customer functions and significant donations to a range of charities to put something back into our community which has allowed CMV to grow into the company it is today.
The recession has hit many financial services sectors hard, but insurers and financial planners are still recruiting for well-paid and challenging positions. Find out about the opportunities, listen to the practitioners and find out more about the skills required to work in these diverse areas.

that Anthony still gets to live a fulfilling, rewarding and enjoyable life. A
large number of pilots and people affiliated to the aviation industry, like
Airborne Insurance, attended the fund raiser and enjoyed a game of golf
while supporting one of their own.
AIRBORNE INSURANCE VISITS
LONDON
Debbie, Jacques and Scott recently went to London to meet with underwriters,
and to specifically understand the stance the War underwriters will be
taking over the next year. Successful discussions were held with our War
underwriters and although War rates will increase it’s going to be on a per
case basis and at renewal.
The directors went to Lloyds and visited the syndicates and spend the
day enjoying some of Lloyd’s history. The market began in Lloyd’s Coffee
House, opened by Edward Lloyd in around 1688 on Tower Street and
the first-ever aviation insurance policy was written by Lloyd’s of London in
1911. The first specialist aviation insurers emerged in 1924. Lloyds is very
secure and one of the preferred markets for Airborne on the larger Aviation
risks and these visits reinforce this.
Q&A SCOTT SMITH:
Scott Smith is the Managing Director at
Airborne Insurance, and has an innovative
vision for the company.
Q. What was your very first job?
A. My first real job once I had completed school
and national service, was as a sales assistant
at Stuttafords, Eastgate. I loved working there;
I found it exciting; I particularly enjoyed getting
to work early and opening the shop doors,
especially during the festive season. I worked my way up to become the
head of the kitchenware department.
Q. How did you enter into your current career in aviation insurance?
A. After spending some time in the UK I returned home and began looking
for employment. Having a family member, my mum, involved in Mission
Aviation meant that aircraft and flying had always been part of my life
growing up. This meant that I was able to interview and obtain a position
at Dennis Jankelow & Associates, as an admin aviation broker. I started in
December 1997 and my journey in aviation insurance continues.
Q. What does your day-to-day role entail?
A. My role has changed a number of times over the last nine years, I initially
did everything! We’ve now grown to 19 employees who are experts in
their fields, I play much more of an overseeing managerial role now. I
concentrate my efforts on negotiating with underwriter’s regards rates,
claims and service, along with looking at strategic planning for the future of
Airborne Insurance.
Q. What is your personal philosophy when it comes to the work you do
and your approach to clients?
A. As a service industry, we are here to provide the very best possible
products and services at the most competitive prices. Should any one of
our clients suffer a loss, we facilitate the payment of the loss in the shortest
time period possible. If clients are satisfied and happy, we consider it a job
well done!
Q. Best advice you’ve ever received?
A. The real meaning of life is to be completely engaged with what you are
doing in the here and now. The future is a concept and doesn’t exist yet. We
are only ever really alive now and we get distracted from living fully now by
having focussing too much on the future. The point of life is always arrived
at in the immediate moment, and this will form your future.
Q. What are the biggest challenges that the business or aviation
insurance industry has faced in recent years and how have these been
overcome?
A. There are always challenges, but to be honest I really can’t think of any
large challenges that the industry has faced in recent years.
Q. What’s your favourite thing about what you do?
A. The people I get to meet and engage with, and the passion we all share
for flying. I still love to close a deal, insure a plane, or create a completely
new product for a client.
Q. What radio station are you tuned to in your car?
A. Classic FM
