The new product, announced yesterday, is available for a vast selection of businesses including manufacturers, heavy engineering and construction and mining contractors, among others, and will help the underwriter develop relationships with a wide-range of brokers.
“Brooklyn traditionally has been pigeonholed as a hard to place underwriting agency,” James Tuitavuki, senior underwriter for liability at Brooklyn told

“The realignment aims to highlight our broad underwriting appetite in the liability space and change broker perceptions.
“Whist our products remain market leading, this was a chance to realign our underwriting appetite to key industries and sectors in which our products offering and rating match the brokers expectations.”

“Our wording is market leading and backed by

The product will offer the ability to transact online for smaller companies with more complex risks also sought.
