International Placement Services

Organisations require placement expertise to help them navigate global insurance market complexities. With brokers in all major insurance hubs, we can help you find optimal solutions for your risk profile, from windstorm and flood to accidental pollution to terrorism.

The global insurance market is ever-changing, creating a range of challenges – risks are borderless and capacity and rates shift region by region.

Organisations need international reach and resources, supported by a vigorous approach to finding placement solutions.

We deliver innovative solutions that help protect you from costly losses, taking into account your unique business risks and exposures.

Our global perspective helps us negotiate with decision makers in international markets and prioritise coverage that will best fit your needs.
