Last week, Dr David Marlin and the Animalweb team were honoured to attend the inaugural Pet & Equine Insurance Sustainability Network Think Tank at Howden’s London offices.
The event brought together moderators, panellists, and delegates to explore how the industry must adapt to shape the future of pet and equine insurance. While challenges and limitations were openly addressed, a shared commitment to animal welfare and owner education emerged as the event’s core focus, resonating with the 100+ attendees.
Organized by Sharon Brown, Founder of the Pet and Equine Insurance Sustainability Network, the Think Tank gathered individuals united by a passion for driving progress in this critical area. The room buzzed with expertise, determination, and a collective will to drive meaningful change.
Sharon reflected on the day, saying, “This is just the first step. Together, we are building a foundation for shaping a sustainable future for pet and equine insurance. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to such a powerful day.”
The conversations sparked at the event marked the beginning of an important journey. As attendees left, Sharon’s final call to action remained clear: “We must collaborate to ensure the sustainability and suitability of pet and equestrian insurance for the future.”
