Sports

Sport brightens our lives, filling our leisure time, keeping us healthy and entertained.  For athletes and players, sport is a livelihood; for sports clubs, managers of sport stadia and other facilities, sport is a serious business with high value, vulnerable assets.  Whether we play sport, watch sport or earn our living from sport, having the right insurance cover in place is vital to ensure these important industries have a future in all of our lives. 

Windsor, historically, was the sportsman’s broker in the Lloyd’s market.  We made our name as the specialist insurance broker to sport and have maintained our expertise to this day.   

Football
High value assets and a significant public profile characterise this popular industry.  The salaries of football players have escalated in recent years, along with their inherent value to their clubs.  As wages and gate receipts have soared the financial stakes have become high and insurance requirements grown commensurately.  Losing a major player, through injury, sickness or breach of contract can have a catastrophic impact upon a club’s financial well-being. 

Windsor’s knowledge of football, coupled with a competitively priced product, ensures our ongoing status as football’s preferred advisor.  Windsor also runs the Football League’s retirement scheme for professional footballers.

Diving
Sub aqua diving offers a whole new realm of exploration to those seeking an unusual and challenging hobby.  Placing the insurance for the British Sub Aqua Club, along with the majority of the UK sport diving clubs and shops, has given us a unique capability in all aspects of diving insurance.  

Skiing and outdoor adventure
We have an extensive facility for operators of skiing and adventure holidays.  Please see under Travel and Leisure.

Horse riding
We have a team that specialises in equine insurance.  Please see under Equine.

In addition to the above, Windsor provides facilities across a wide spectrum of sports including athletics, cricket, golf and motor-racing.

"Our personal accident facility for footballers is the largest by limit in the market, making us ideally placed to help our football clients protect their major assets.”
