Our team’s thoughts on what makes insurers they trade with ‘Best in Class’

Flexibility, proactiveness and desire to want to help/win new business.
Responsiveness from the underwriter, even if they can't write the risk, is paramount. Our best insurers are the ones who will do what they can to help on a risk, even if it's a trade they wouldn't normally write.
They are commercial, easy to work with, technical, flexible with amending their base wording to ensure policy is bespoke to clients which is crucial in the large risk managed client space.
Flexibility in pricing and cover, technical expertise of underwriters, support on challenged placements, broad wordings, visibility of teams and management.
