We’ve always known John Silcock was a legend in the world of event insurance, now StandOut Magazine has made it official. This week, our Global Head of Entertainment has been named #EventProf of the Week, and his story is one you won’t want to miss.
From insuring blockbuster tours and navigating global events to getting a 3am call from a worried tour manager (and always picking up), John’s career is anything but ordinary. What started as a temp job in the London insurance market turned into a trailblazing journey across the entertainment industry, helping shape how live events are insured around the world.
“New challenges = new solutions.”
That’s the philosophy that’s powered John’s decades-long career and continues to shape the way LMP works today.
In the feature, John talks about:
- Growing Robertson Taylor into a global industry powerhouse
- Meeting the Queen at Buckingham Palace (yes, really)
- Building LMP into the next big thing in entertainment and event insurance
- Why resilience and mentorship matter in events
This is more than a career retrospective, it’s a celebration of what’s possible when creativity meets expertise and when client service truly means being there when it matters most.
