Bryony Garlick is a business journalist at Insurance Business, covering the insurance market with a sharp focus on the trends, regulatory developments, and emerging risks shaping the sector.

With broad experience across business and financial sectors, Bryony brings rigorous research and clear, authoritative writing to some of the industry's most pressing challenges. Her work frequently explores the intersection between insurance and wider economic and societal issues, as well as the changing nature of risk itself. Through interviews with industry leaders, brokers, insurers, and risk professionals, she provides insight into the forces reshaping insurance and the businesses it serves.

How I think about writing for this industry…

“I love writing about the niche areas of insurance, the bits most people never really think about. The more people I speak to, the more I realise just how broad, innovative and interesting the industry is, and I love bringing those stories to life.”
