As part of our commitment to understanding the rapidly developing security landscape, we are pleased to release a new report, ‘The Current State of Extreme Right-Wing Terrorism’.   The report highlights an important shift: that far-right terrorism has evolved away from structured groups to a more disparate, dispersed, online threat, and as a result is likely to remain a significant threat in the long term. The report also warns of the risk of radicalisation to individuals under the age of 18, perpetuated by the ease of internet access and the increasing amount of time spent online by children and young adults in the UK.

We’re proud to say that our very own Threat Analyst, Oliver Hair ASyI has won the President of the Security Institute’s Award for Outstanding Young Professional. This award recognises rising stars in the security sector, where Oliver’s work in raising terrorism awareness, developing threat assessments and leading forums for threat analysts has made a huge impact. He is also the voice behind our podcast, Totally Terrorism. 🎙️ Congratulations, Oliver, on this well-deserved commendation!

On 14th October, the government commended the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill, known as #MartynsLaw to the House of Commons – a significant step towards strengthening the UK's preparedness against terrorism. Pool Re supports the government in taking another step towards enhancing the protection of the UK’s public places from terrorist attacks and the recognition of insurers’ role in supporting future legislation.   We remain committed to helping businesses and organisations in preparing for the impact of the legislation and will continue to support the insurance industry as the law progresses.   Learn more about the latest developments in Martyn’s Law here: https://lnkd.in/ec8nXRnB   #terrorism #UKsecurity

We are proud to announce a new partnership with the East End Community Foundation (EECF) to become our official #charity partner for the next three years. Over the past three decades, the EECF has raised and distributed over £30 million towards community projects across Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Newham, and the City of London, making a significant impact on these areas. The partnership will focus on #fundraising initiatives that support local communities in East London, and Pool Re will support the EECF’s Life Chances Campaign, which is dedicated to fostering positive change within disadvantaged communities. The campaign aims to improve the well-being and employment opportunities for young people, tackle digital exclusion, and reduce poverty among older residents. Tom Clementi, Chief Executive Officer at Pool Re, said "We are very pleased to partner with the East End Community Foundation and support their important work in London. At Pool Re, we believe in giving back to the communities in which we operate, and the EECF’s focus on improving life chances and tackling inequality aligns with our values. Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of those who need it most." We look forward to helping ensure the EECF’s continued success, driving meaningful, long-term benefits for East End communities.

Today, the government introduced #MartynsLaw into parliament – a move that Pool Re warmly welcomes. Once passed, this law will be a significant move in improving how prepared British businesses are for the risk of a terrorist attack, and we look forward to supporting businesses and the insurance industry as it becomes a reality.   We congratulate Figen Murray OBE on her tremendous campaign to bring about this bill to honour her son and the other victims of terrorist attacks.
