John Inwood, underwriting director at Avid, said: “We’ve had a strong start to 2025 and this new partnership with Starr represents another exciting step forward for Avid.
“Each of these three sectors requires dedicated expertise and we’re proud to be offering brokers targeted products and specialist underwriting.”
