Welcome to Insurance Covered, the podcast that covers everything insurance. In this episode Peter is once again joined by Crum & Forster CEO, Marc Adee and they discuss the fall and rise of an American insurer and Marc's book; 'The Once and Future C&F'.
In this conversation, Peter Mansfield and Mark Adee discuss the history of Crum and Forster, an American insurer, focusing on its rise, fall, and eventual resurgence. They explore the origins of the company, its innovative business model, the challenges it faced during the 1960s and 70s, and the lessons learned from its eventual sale in 1982. The discussion highlights the complexities of the insurance industry and the importance of understanding market cycles and financial discipline. In this conversation, Marc Adee discusses his experiences and insights from his time in the insurance industry, particularly focusing on his tenure at Crum & Forster and the challenges faced by Xerox in the insurance sector.
