Welcome to Anything But Ordinary
In this episode, Zoe sits down with Kate Wallace, Director at Tysers, to explore the often misunderstood but fascinating world of insurance for ultra-high-net-worth individuals. From global property portfolios to fine art collections, luxury handbags, and even celebrity memorabilia, Kate shares what it really takes to protect the assets and lifestyles of clients whose lives are anything but ordinary.
Kate explains how her career in insurance evolved into a highly personal and relationship-driven role working with private clients across industries including entertainment. Rather than the stereotypical image of insurance as purely paperwork and policies, Kate reveals a profession built on trust, discretion, and deep understanding of each client’s lifestyle — from visiting homes to assess risks, to coordinating specialist valuations for everything from artwork to iconic stage outfits.
Zoe and Kate also discuss the hidden complexities of protecting high-value lifestyles in an increasingly digital and visible world. From cyber risks and social media exposure to underinsured properties and the importance of covering domestic staff, Kate highlights how modern insurance goes far beyond homes and cars. Instead, it forms part of a wider network of experts quietly working behind the scenes to safeguard clients, their families, and the extraordinary lives they lead.
