Amwins organises underwriting operations to enhance capabilities

Amwins Global Risks (AGR), the international arm of specialty insurance broker Amwins, has introduced a new structure for its underwriting operations to strengthen and expand its capabilities.

The reorganisation ensures a more consistent approach, better alignment of resources, and stronger relationships with carrier partners. By streamlining its International Underwriting operations, AGR is now better positioned to introduce new products to its platform.

The new structure consists of three distinct underwriting entities, all led by Simon Jackson. Unicorn Underwriting is a UK-based MGA focused on fleet and commercial risk. Contour Underwriting operates as an open-distribution specialty lines MGA, initially launching with a focus on Marine Cargo coverage, with additional lines set to be introduced in 2025. Amwins Amplify is a brand designed to provide exclusive products tailored specifically for AGR brokers.

Nick Abraham, CEO of Amwins Global Risks, said, “We are excited to unveil this new structure, which will further strengthen our underwriting capabilities and provide a solid foundation for our underwriters to focus and thrive.

“In order to set the company up for growth, it was important to organise ourselves into broad underwriting disciplines and arranging our teams with a UK focus (Unicorn), Specialty (Contour) and AGR exclusive (Amplify), which will enable us to work with clients and capacity providers in a consistent manner that aligns with their requirements. It means we come to the market with clear strategies and a focus for those unique disciplines.”

Simon Jackson, Managing Director of Amwins International Underwriting, added, “We are excited to have Jack Bryan leading Marine Cargo, the first product line of Contour Underwriting. His experience and leadership are invaluable as we expand into new specialty areas and further strengthen our international offering.”

As part of these plans, the Worldwide Property team within Unicorn Underwriting will rebrand as Contour Underwriting in 2025 while continuing to offer the same products and client service. The rest of Unicorn Underwriting will remain unchanged, with plans to expand its UK offering within this MGA.
