The Bespoke
Underwriting
Department
The Bespoke Underwriting
Department offers a referral bespoke
quoting facility to target risks
which would otherwise not be
accommodated via screen rates.
The underwriting team specialise in
offering bespoke quotations for
non-generic risks such as high
performance vehicles, high values,
high profile occupations and
risks with adverse claims
or conviction history.
We provide a unique service to
our brokers and pride ourselves on
our ability to tailor quotations to
suit the needs of the individual.
Please contact Andy Cracknell with any Schemes enquiries.
We trade on matrix rates, broker schemes and bespoke underwriting. Our model is built around
relationships with a select number of brokers and intermediaries UK wide (circa I00 only).
We are always on the lookout for good scheme opportunities in the market, and welcome brokers
who want a true relationship-driven account.
