“What an Event! Totally superb!” “The Highlight Of Our Coversure Year”

Coversure Conference & Exhibition 2015

CONFERENCE BROCHURE SPONSORED BY

2 DAYS ONLY!

13th – 14th March

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 2015 Coversure Conference weekend at which the highlight will undoubtedly be the premiere of our new multi-pound production Coversure, The Musical, which is the story of the unrequited love of a client for a franchisee.

We know that insurance is a favourite subject for musicals and we crave your indulgence in producing yet another insurance themed musical, a trend started as long ago as 1955 with Seven Brides for Seven Brokers, with the peak of the genre being arguably reached in 1979 by Stephen Sondheim in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Underwriter of Lime Street.

Even where the musical theme has nothing to do with insurance, it is astonishing how many writers and producers want to include a song with an insurance link. Can we hope to match those unforgettable songs such as There Ain’t Nothing Like A Claim and Don’t Cry For Me Please Aviva?

The premiere of this year’s production is at a new venue for Coversure, the home of MK Dons FC, who have kindly allowed us to stage our event at their stadium while they travel up the M6 to Walsall passing nearby four Coversure offices on that short journey.

Coversure has offices both at Milton Keynes and Walsall and also at Wimbledon, the ancestral home of the MK Dons. In fact more than half of the population of England is within ten miles of a Coversure office, which illustrates the potential reach of products distributed through the Coversure network while also reminding us of the potential for reaching a greater fraction of the country’s population by establishing new offices.

The annual conference is a metaphor for Coversure’s steady growth. It is a part of our corporate legend that the first annual conference was held in an Indian restaurant in Huntingdon, since when we have outgrown hotel venues in Peterborough,

Huntingdon, Leicester and Windsor. My colleagues remind me each year that it is very difficult to find a venue which is big enough to accommodate us whilst being intimate enough to reflect our family business culture.

We remain optimistic that Coversure’s steady growth and success will continue and that Coversure will retain the family business culture that is such a central tenet of everything that we do. I regularly celebrate the accomplishments of our franchise holders many of whom count their Coversure office as their family’s principal asset. Their businesses are supported by a brilliant range of products from our insurance company partners and by our terrific teams at Huntingdon, Ilkeston and Heywood. I am forever amazed and thankful for their collective expertise, hard work and application.

This weekend choreographers will be on hand to ensure that your movements between conference presentations are co-ordinated and stylish. Company representatives are expected to dance in the aisles as you approach their stands. You are recommended to warm up your singing voice before dinner and check the taps are securely attached to your shoes as you approach the dance floor afterwards. The Winner Takes It All will be played at the end of the casino.

The Coversure Conference is once again generously supported by the sponsorship of our business partners and our great thanks go to them. Franchise holders can thank them in person by visiting their stands at the exhibition, but there is a far better reason to visit them than just to proffer your thanks, which is to learn how you can benefit your business by promoting theirs.

Let the show begin!

The Cast Martin Taylor Lead Actor / Dancer

One of the original members of Coversure the Musical, Taylor recently took the lead role in the cast. He takes to his performances with absolute precision. His perfectly choreographed routines are like well coded pieces of computer software that have left many of his audiences dumbstruck.

He praises the original writer of Coversure the Musical, Mark Coverdale, whose creative genius rivals that of Alfred Hitchcock himself.

John Hooper Head Choreographer

After carving out a successful career as a dancer with grace and charm, Hooper founded the Hooper School of Dance for the Gifted. His unorthodox method of teaching which has been said to either ‘make you or break you’, has produced some of the world’s best dancers.

He now calls on his years of experience and choreographs Coversure the Musical. A face of the industry, he is always attending celebrity parties.

Bob Darling Actor / Dancer

Having spent a large part of his early career in the West End, Darling was discovered by the producers of Coversure the Musical in 2009.

After spending three years studying at the world renowned Hooper School of Dance, Darling quickly progressed through the ensemble to lead-dancer. He is now a leading figure in the cast, which many younger members look up to. He has been described, by some, as ‘Billy Elliott-like’ in the way he moves.

Kevin Sinclair Actor

Sinclair joined the cast of Coversure the Musical in 2009, after a successful acting career in London, having starred in many blockbusters. He is a big name in the industry and an accomplished actor with many accolades. He is a firm favourite with the fans.

He is also the star of the show at one of the musical’s successful spin off productions in London, City Underwriters.

Nigel Taylor Producer

Nigel Taylor is a world leading film maker, and producer of Coversure the Musical. His role means he travels internationally from Manchester to Huntingdon with his vast array of specialist equipment.

His creativity knows no bounds and when he is not working hard at Coversure the Musical, Taylor produces an amateur dramatics production in Lancashire.

Roger Nelson Acting Coach

Roger Nelson is a well-known acting coach from the CII Theatre School in London. He is known for promoting talent in the industry and has worked closely with some of the best actors in the country.

This year he is assisting the producers of Coversure the Musical and is keen to promote the CII ’s training programmes, qualifications and other resources to aid any budding actor or understudy that wants to further their career in show business.

Steve Ray Actor

We are truly honoured to have Steve Ray, a classically trained professional Shakespearian actor and star of the famous Howden production in London, making a special guest performance at Coversure the Musical this year – for one night only.

Ray is one of the most exciting actors on the scene at this time and his appearance has created quite a stir among critics and fans alike.

Steve Parker Actor

Originally from the south coast, Parker is a highly experienced and accomplished pantomime actor, who has enjoyed a long tenure at Coversure the Musical. His combination of elegance and dry wit has made him a star among many theatre goers.

Not one to shy away from a party, Parker is often found frequenting many of the world’s most prestigious award gala dinners.

Carl Ashton Stage Director

Ashton has been with Coversure the Musical for some years now and in his role as Stage Director, he oversees and orchestrates the musical from the back by unifying various aspects of the production. He has made the show a rip-roaring success over the years and has kept many of the cast in check and some out of trouble.

Ashton’s attention to detail has led to the show receiving great reviews, from some of the toughest critics in the country, including the FCA Regulator Times.

Nick Elliman Actor

One of the best known touring actors in the industry. Nick has been known to wow audiences across the country, but is not without his critics.

He is most famous for his epic monologues, which some say have insightful hidden messages and others have discredited as nonsensical ramblings. One thing that is for sure, is Elliman has helped inspire many budding actors to greatness, which he does through careful mentoring.

Adam Belcher Actor

Understudy to Nick Elliman, Belcher has recently joined the cast of Coversure the Musical and is enjoying his first season. Despite his lack of starring performances, Belcher is already making a name for himself and creating a dedicated fan base of followers. He has real attention to detail, which is evident in his almost flawless routines.

He has been earmarked by many critics as “one to watch for the future”.

ê The film opened in the USA in 1978 and grossed over $400 million.

ê You’re The One That I Want reached top of the UK charts for nine weeks in 1978, followed by a seven week stint with Summer Nights later the same year.

ê Richard Gere was unknown in 1973 when he came to London to play Danny Zuko: he had previously been understudying the role on Broadway. Paul Nicholas, now Co-Producer of this production, took over the role from Gere.

ê Since the show opened in London in 1993 it has been seen by over 10 million people and has grossed over £165 million in the UK alone.

ê There are a total of 142 costume changes in the show. These include 16 leather jackets and 59 wigs.

ê There are a total of 465 lights and 4½ miles of electric cable used in the show.

ê 10 jumbo cans of hairspray and 8 pots of gel are used each week.

ê My Fair Lady was adapted from George Bernard Shaw’s play Pygmalion that was in turn based on a classical myth by Ovid in which Pygmalion fell in love with Galatea, a beautiful female statue.

ê The My Fair Lady Broadway cast album spent over 300 weeks in the US chart, many of them at number 1.

ê Eliza’s ball dress has over 5,897 beads, all of which are hand sewn on.

ê 195 costume changes occur during each performance.

ê The quickest costume change takes 30 seconds and is from Eliza’s everyday outfit to her stunning dress for the ball. This is a complete costume and wig change and takes five people: 3 dressers and 2 wig people.

ê My Fair Lady was filmed in 1964. It won the 1964 Academy Award for Best Picture together with seven other Academy Awards for Best Actor (Rex Harrison), Best Director (George Cukor), Best Colour Cinematography, Best Colour Art Direction / Set Decoration, Best Sound, Best Score (Andre Previn) and Best Colour Costume Design (Cecil Beaton).

ê Rafiki, the mandrill´s gender was changed to a female character for The Lion King musical.

ê The Lion King is the eighth longest-running musical in Broadway history.

ê The Lion King musical debuted its first ever performance in Africa in Johannesburg, South Africa.

ê It takes 114 people to prepare for each performance of The Lion King.

ê There are 5 different languages used in The Lion King including Zulu, Xhosa and Swahili.

ê It took more than 17,000 hours to make all the costumes and puppets for the Broadway production of The Lion King using 750 pounds of silicone rubber.

ê The tallest animals in the show are the 18 foot exotic giraffes in the song I Just Can’t Wait to Be King.

ê The tiniest animal in the show is the trick mouse at the end of Scar’s cane: 5 inches.

Musical Trivia

ê It is estimated that The Phantom of the Opera has been seen by more than 140 million people, and the total worldwide gross is now in excess of $6 billion.

ê The Phantom of the Opera became Broadway’s longest running show ever when it overtook the record set by Cats with its 7,486th performance on 6th January 2006. It is the only Broadway show ever to celebrate anniversaries through 18 to 25 years.

ê The box-office revenues are higher than any other film or stage play in history – including Titanic, ET and Star Wars.

ê The original cast album of The Phantom of the Opera was the first in British musical history to enter the music charts at number 1.

ê Album sales, including original cast recording, foreign language recordings, studio recordings and the film soundtrack now exceed 40 million.

ê The dazzling replica of the Paris Opera House chandelier is made up of 6,000 beads consisting of 35 beads to each string. It is three metres wide and weighs one ton. The touring version falls at two and a half metres per second. The original version was built by five people in four weeks.

ê The Phantom’s make-up takes two hours to put on and 30 minutes to take off. The face is moisturised, closely shaved and the prosthetics are fitted, setting immediately, before two wigs, two radio mics and two contact lenses (one white and one clouded) are placed.

ê The touring production takes 27 articulated lorries to transfer the set between theatres.

The PHANTOM of the OPERA ê The original production opened

at the New London Theatre, in the West End on 11 May 1981. Eight years later it celebrated its first important milestone: after 3,358 performances, Cats became the longest running musical in the history of the British theatre.

ê Since its opening, Cats has been presented in over twenty countries and in about two hundred and fifty cities, including such diverse destinations as Buenos Aires, Seoul, Helsinki and Singapore. Within two and half years of the London opening there were productions in New York, Tokyo, Budapest and Vienna, and the first of tour US touring productions had hit the road.

ê Cats has been translated into ten languages: Japanese, German, (three versions for Germany, Austria and Switzerland), Hungarian, Norwegian, Finnish, Dutch, Swedish, French, Spanish (two versions for Mexico and Argentina) and Italian. The Swiss production required a bilingual cast who performed in German and English on alternate nights.

ê The title of the show has never been translated – the Mexican producers did a survey as to whether the Mexican audience would like their production to be called Gatos – the response in favour of keeping the English original was unanimous.

ê Memory has been recorded by a variety of over 150 artists ranging from Barbra Streisand and Johnny Mathis to Liberace. Barry Manilow’s rendition was a top-40 hit in the U.S.

Casino (11:00pm – 1:00am)

After dinner has finished, the Coversure videos have premiered and the awards are all handed out, the night is still young. We have arranged for our very own private Coversure casino.

When you sit down for dinner, you’ll find a stash of fake money, instantly transforming you into a high roller.

The casino will be hosted in the Yellow Brick Road room from 11pm and will give you the chance to experience the spills and thrills that come with Roulette and Black Jack.

After the casino has closed, we’ll provide you with a late night buffet to help carry you through until the final curtain.

Nominating a charity

This year we are choosing a local charity to support with funds raised during a charity silent auction, to be hosted during the dinner. Offices can nominate one local charity, if you haven’t already, pop to the Coversure stand.

The charity you nominate could be local and/or one you already work with, or a cause that you think deserves some support.

The winning charity will be pulled from a hat during the afternoon conference session and the total raised in the silent action will be announced at the end of the night.

Wouldn’t it be great to leave the conference today with a big fat cheque to take to a charity that you nominated? Of course, Marketing will help you spread the word with a press release and photo.

Silent Auction

Whether you’re an experienced philanthropist or have never been to a charity auction before, there is something in the Coversure silent auction to suit everyone. From sports memorabilia to weekends away, lots start from just £49 and all money raised will go to a deserving cause.

Why not club together to form a syndicate and bid for an item together? Many of the lots are for multiple people to enjoy; for example, a private box at Ascot, luxury spa breaks and a professional chef in your home for 6 or 10 people. There will be a brochure on your table at the dinner to place your bids.

There will be assistants about at the dinner to help you, should you have any questions, to collect those all-important bids and take payment after the auction.
