PARTNERSHIP
We have developed the market’s leading UK construction business through successful long term partnerships with our clients. Our approach means we work closely with clients, developing in depth knowledge of their business and its needs.
INNOVATION
We implemented an innovative approach to the broking of a major UK contractor’s excess casualty and professional indemnity programmes.
Historically, the three classes, employers' liability (EL), professional liability (PL) and professional indemnity (PI) had been written as separate programmes with different insurers.
Initially we spent time analysing the insurer participations to understand the level of capacity committed across all three classes and identify the premium generated.
By identifying competing capacity and understanding the insurers’ appetites, we were able to design an integrated programme for a combined primary PL and PI layer.
While the final placement included separate limits for each of the classes within the policy, challenging premium targets and increased limits were achieved. The (total cost of risk) benefit to the client was valued at approximately £1,000,000.
