QBE is continuing to grow business in London with the announcement that its crisis management team has doubled in line size.

Product contamination recall risks underwritten by the team have doubled in line size from $5m to $10m, while sabotage & terrorism risks have more than doubled from $10m to $25m and the kidnap and ransom capacity is now at $10m.

QBE's crisis management underwriter Jennie Seabrook said the move would reinforce its position within the specialist market.

Seabrook said: “These increased line sizes are good news for us, for brokers, and for their clients.

“In the recall market this capacity will also mean that insureds can now have one policy without the inconsistency that various wordings forming one placement can incur.”
