Catlin operates a specialist niche D&O account established in 2004. Although the core of the account is UK based insureds we also write international (excl’ USA) on both primary and an excess basis. We compete with around 20 UK markets. The vast majority is direct, mostly handled from London and Watford. We do some reinsurance but it is not significant.
Our only binder of note is for golf clubs. We also have a small but growing amount of business from Catlin’s overseas offices.
