I got a little arm thingy that's got it quite nicely positioned right up of my head.

So I should have the old spitguard thingy there and it's quite useful.

I get rid of the spit guard and it's the way.

Well, as I record this, the sun is streaming in the windows.

Spring has arrived here in London.

And I just hope that it's still here as you listen to this wherever you are or whatever you are doing.

Matthew Grant here, partner at InSdeck, London and broadcasting to the world.

And welcome to all of you, by the way, listening in from Canada. You are our third most active audience by country this month.

Now, this week, I am joined by a very good friend of Insteck London, known to many of you,

for his daily, or maybe that should be hourly presence on social media,

and co-host of the 11FS podcast, Nigel Walsh. Now, I interviewed Nigel for Podcast 81 in May last year,

still incidentally one of our most popular, but this week we've swapped seats. Nigel is going

to be interviewing me about our forthcoming report, Location Intelligence 2021, The Companies to

Watch, Where, What and How Risky. Now, as you'll hear in a moment, this is an important

and it's a massive topic, mostly focused on ensuring property and understanding where things are,

what they're made of, the value that has us close by and how to assess claims remotely. Now, as Nigel

and I discuss for an insurer, understanding where things are and what

might cause them to break or get destroyed, is one of the fundamentals of underwriting. Get that

wrong and all the other clever tech is effectively useless. Now, you can download the report

for my website, www.insdeck.london or follow the link in the episode notes. It's 83 pages long and covers over 50 companies,

no shortcuts when it comes to location intelligence. Free for everyone in April, but you need to

buy it after that unless you are a member. Well, Nigel kick things off.
