Allied World Europe launches primary UK employers’ liability coverage

Allied World Europe is now offering primary UK employers’ liability coverage in conjunction with its general liability insurance.

The main industries for this product are retail, manufacturing companies, consumer products, defence contractors, hotels and leisure, which can be bought alongside its property and healthcare liability policies.

Commenting on the new launch, the firm’s senior vice-president and European general casualty manager Anthony Kashuba said: “The addition of employers’ liability coverage allows us to offer comprehensive coverage to our clients. Risk management and claims service are key elements to our underwriting approach. We look forward to working with new and existing clients and brokers.”

Bermuda & International Insurance chief underwriting officer Mike Hoffmann said: “We continually review our product offerings and are delighted to expand our capabilities by providing employers’ liability cover. This additional product addresses a coverage gap that currently exists within our product suite and ensures we align ourselves with local market requirements.”
