This is always one of my favourite pieces to put together as I get the opportunity to sit and reflect on how we’ve helped our clients achieve their goals through providing insurance that works for them!

Thousands and thousands of projects plus a growing team!

We’ve seen a huge increase in the number of projects we’ve insured this year, insuring well over of 6,500 individual projects whilst also insuring thousands of creative businesses who purchase insurance annually rather than project by project.

On behalf of the team, we are really proud to be chosen as your insurance provider of choice this year, so a big thank you to you.

We’ve continued to grow the team with Gideon, Tiffany, Gus and Colin joining as we look to continue to improve the service and support, we provide our clients with.

Short Film Competition 2024

We ran our 7^th Annual Short Film Competition this year, masterminded by Charlee, our marketing superstar!

The competition had five cash prizes this year which took the total prizes awarded since the inaugural event to 36! That means 36 future projects which we’ve had a small part to play in. This is something we’re all proud of.

Getting out and about

The team have attended some great events in 2024. We quite happily joke about going to anything and everything that we’re invited to. This year saw us attend a vast number of events, film festivals, film screenings, industry awards nights – essentially if there’s an event, you’re bound to see at least one of us about!

If you’re screening your films yourselves or at festivals, do share this with us and we’ll be happy to push your success and support you via our socials. Reach out to charlee.light@performance-insurance.tv for any help or info on this.

2025?

We’ve got a load of plans to share in the new year, including our 8^th consecutive annual Short Film Competition but for now, a HUGE thank you all for your support this year.

Wishing you and your families a good break at the end of the year and the best wishes for the New Year.
