About the Webinar

What part does trade credit insurance play in today’s volatile economic environment?  What are the benefits of coverage?  Can underwriters and brokers adapt to the needs of credit managers? Or, are we stuck in the world of 2008, when large volumes of cover were withdrawn or credit limits were drastically reduced during the global economic crisis of that period?

Join UPM-Kymmene Corporation’s Trade Credit Manager Heli Kallinki as she interviews Willis Towers Watson’s Richard Talboys and Rob Bolton on trade credit insurance. Get the information you need to cover your company’s accounts receivable portfolio and essential insight regarding trade credit insurance.
