WMB Specialty launches new sport, leisure, events practice


WMB Specialty – the specialty unit of broker Wilson M. Beck Insurance Services – has launched a new practice specializing in sports, leisure, entertainment, and events.

The new practice is called SuperScore, and the Vancouver-based operation will focus on liability, accident, critical illness, legal expense and professional lines insurance for amateur and professional sports, municipalities, provincial organisations, school sports bodies, sports associations, and sporting facilities.

In addition to establishing the new practice, WMB Specialty also announced it has tapped John Hart and Alan McNulty to serve as vice president and senior account executive of SuperScore, respectively. Combined, the two have over seven decades of experience in the sports insurance industry, a Press release said.

“Clients in the sports segment need tailored advice, improved service, creative thinking and problem-solving to find more modern coverage solutions, which is missing from the current marketplace,” commented John Hart on his appointment.

“Clients are demanding new and enhanced products and applications combined with advanced technology. WMB Specialty is perfectly structured to solve these new and emerging risk challenges,” added Alan McNulty.

“I am very excited to be working with such talented and passionate individuals as John and Alan,” said WMB Speciality principal Barzin Assadi.

“We’re very happy to welcome John and Alan to the WMB family,” stated Wilson M. Beck Insurance Services president David Beck. “The specialty insurance expertise that these individuals bring to the firm will be of huge benefit to our clients and our existing offices.”
