New offering will allow brokers to transfer unwanted business
Run-off specialist Randall & Quilter is launching a new initiative to take advantage of a glut of London market brokers wanting to sell up.
Insurance Times understands that a number of London market brokers are potentially up for sale, and that R&Q Insurance Services is working with up to six Lloyd's brokers on the service, called Broker Wrap.
Broker Wrap transfers unwanted or legacy business to R&Q for a fee, which could improve a broker’s sale prospects or leave it as a cleaned-up business following the completion of a sale. Brokers that want to remain independent, but which are struggling under the regulatory and administrative burdens of their legacy business, can also use the product.
R&Q will take responsibility for run-off procedures such as accounting, premium and claims transactions, archiving and regulatory reporting.
R&Q head of broker services Colin Johnson said Broker Wrap was aimed mainly at the long-tail business of Lloyd’s brokers and the reinsurance market.
He said the product could be rolled out to certain other UK brokers, particularly those with commercial-focused accounts.
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.
