RK Harrison-backed underwriting agency Aqua has launched a new policy wording for its high net worth (HNW) home product.

It has also updated its HNW home and contents portfolio, branding it Focus.

Changes to Aqua’s policy wording include increased sums insured in the main sections of cover and the introduction of cover for risks not previously protected.

The new wording is called Focus Two. In addition, Aqua offers Focus One, an HNW product where policyholders retain more risk in return for a lower premium, and Focus Three which boats the features of Focus Two but with more generous coverage limits.

Aqua’s head of UK underwriting Paul Woods (pictured) said: “Aqua has continued to focus on providing brokers with a responsive service and accessible and flexible underwriting. The enhancements to our wording have come from listening to our brokers and reflect our commitment to providing their HNW clients with the opportunity to choose the level of cover they require.”

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.

Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
Many congratulations to all the worthy winners and as always, huge thanks to our sponsors for their support and our judges for their expertise.
