The biggest event in the UK surety calendar took place in June 2022, at The Belfry Hotel and Resort. After a two-year hiatus, we were excited to welcome back UK surety professionals to the WASPs event. 

Golfers enjoyed a day on The Belfry’s championship PGA course and non-golfers took part in the ultimate bake-off challenge. The evening consisted of dinner, drinks and much-needed entertainment.
