Applied Underwriters’ leaders attribute market gains to top talent and executive advancement

Applied Underwriters, a provider of insurance solutions, has recently experienced growth, strong underwriting results, and expanded market presence.

According to the company’s leaders, these achievements are due to strategic hiring of high performers and advancements within the executive team.

Notable recent appointments in specialty areas like surety, healthcare, and aviation, particularly within United Risk, have contributed to these successes.

Chairman Steve Menzies announced that they plan to further enhance their recruitment and expansion efforts, aiming to build on the anticipated positive results for 2024.

“The winning formula is working consistently for attracting, motivating and sustaining the top pros in each sector, giving them great latitude and independence within our entrepreneurially driven environment, and then consistently supporting their efforts. As a result, the temper of the Company is attractive to brokers and their clients. We will be adding more resources to grow in select E&S lines in 2025,” added Menzies.

Jamie Sahara, President of Applied Underwriters, described the dynamic growth of United Risk and its MGA portfolio businesses as “vital and inviting as a home for free enterprise and the people who generate it all.”

He continued: “Examples such as our Surety and Healthcare practices can only be realised by such professionals as our new team leaders and by the appointment of proven, seasoned execs within Applied and its divisions. We say with confidence that we are emerging as a sector leader in several of these critical areas, while continuing to target others.

Insurance is a people business, as has often been said, so having the best team anywhere has evident logic and transformative power, demonstrated by the rapid evolution and creation alone of United Risk. We will continue to announce changes and additions ahead.”

Additionally, Sahara announced the appointments of William Barvick as Vice President of Healthcare and Davis Isinger as Vice President of Healthcare – Hospitals and Allied Health within the Company’s Applied Financial Lines division.

Steve McGill, President of Applied Financial Lines, commented: “As we have done in our other sectors, adding very experienced leaders in healthcare professional lines strengthens our ability to serve our brokers in the US, Europe, and Middle East in an area in need of underwriting expertise—especially after the hardship the healthcare industry experienced during the pandemic. We are poised to lead the way with Messrs. Barvick and Isinger onboard.”
