FOR ALL PROFESSIONAL LINES:

Professional Lines is a rapidly evolving marketplace - many risks we see haven't been insured before, and some can be a challenge to match cover to. As a result, there is little consistency in the marketplace; in underwriting approach, coverage form or selection practise. We endeavour to provide service of the highest quality. As part of this commitment we promise that:

  • You will deal with an experienced underwriter who understands the various professional lines we distribute
  • We will make fast decisions and will react when you tell us something is particularly urgent
  • We will listen to your feedback and use it to continually improve our service
  • We want to be your first and last call for all your Professional Liability placement challenges.
  • We are happy to work with other markets application and proposal forms
  • Our premiums start at $1,000.00. We offer 15% commission and generally do not levy policy fees.
