QBE, AmWINS partner on excess property program

QBE North America said Friday that it has joined with AmWINS Special Risk Underwriters to launch a national excess property insurance program.

The nonadmitted program will principally target risks made up of a mix of soft occupancy — such as habitational, hospitality and retail — and manufacturing, the unit of Sydney-based QBE Insurance Group Ltd. said in a statement.

“QBE is excited to partner with such an experienced property MGA,” Glenn Skrynecki, senior vice president of property/casualty programs for QBE North America, said in the statement.

Katie Davies, president of AmWINS Special Risk Underwriting, said in a statement that “QBE brings the specialized expertise to help us meet the needs of our customers.”
