With almost two decades of risk engineering experience, servicing both clients and underwriters, we understand that sanitised risk reporting for short-term placement creates long-term capacity issues. Reporting the full extent of risks, with a client-committed improvement strategy, that is overseen by their broker, enables confident risk-selection and pricing decisions by the underwriting market. This improvement in client risk quality, leads to better long-term client-underwriter partnerships.
