Backchat was amused to learn about the new underwriting agency set up by former Catlin Ecosse boss Geoff Ross.
It wasn't the nature of the business that tickled Backchat, but the venture's name: Giant Risk Solutions.
With a name like Giant, surely mega-property portfolios, huge fleets or other big-ticket risks would be its target?
No, it's the ubiquitous small to medium sized business. Then again, Tiny Risk Solutions doesn't have the same ring.
