Geo Underwriting expands marine proposition for brokers

Geo Underwriting’s marine arm has expanded its broker proposition for larger, more technical and commercially demanding risks, including cargo vessels and commercial fishing boats.

This strategic shift is backed by a larger, more adaptable underwriting team with in-depth sector knowledge and the ability to respond quickly to broker needs.

Adrian Scott, head of marine at Geo Underwriting, said: “At Geo, we’ve deliberately strengthened our proposition to support brokers handling more complex marine risks.

“Our expanded team includes underwriters with wide-ranging technical expertise and real-world marine experience, enabling us to assess and underwrite risks with a flexible approach.” 

Expanded distribution

Geo Underwriting has also expanded the distribution of Navigators and General’s (N&G) boat club product to all brokers trading with both the MGA and N&G across the UK.

This is to celebrate one year of joining forces with N&G. The product is tailored insurance cover designed specifically for sailing, yacht and motorboat clubs across the UK.

Scott said: ”By opening our boat club product up to the wider broker market, we’re making it even easier to access a product that delivers real value.

”We are now able to support brokers who are looking for market-tested alternatives for existing arrangements and for new business.”

Graham Clark, head at N&G, added: “Our N&G team lives and breathes boating and that passion drives everything we do – from underwriting to customer service.

”With new digital tools and a growing team, we’re making marine insurance simpler, smarter and more supportive for boat owners across the UK.”
