Simon Jackson

Head of Open Market

From office buildings and hospitals to heavy industrial sites, we insure large commercial property around the world from our underwriting hubs in London, United States and Singapore.

In a class of business in which it can be difficult to sustain a presence, especially when combined with natural catastrophe exposures, our underwriters work together with brokers and their clients to create tailored policies.

We are known for our disciplined underwriting approach whether on a primary or excess basis, bespoke wordings and stable partnerships with many of our relationships going back well over two decades. This approach has resulted in a lasting presence when others have had to leave the market.

Our reputation in the field of large commercial property insurance is reflected in the fact that we are the lead underwriter on around 60% of the business we write.

The Beazley difference

Strong lead underwriting capability on a worldwide basis.
We are open-minded with an appetite to underwrite “distressed” and hard to place risks such as steel and utilities.
Catastrophe capacity in peak catastrophe zones.
An empowered team with a strong emphasis on service.
Dedicated in-house claims team with wide experience including a range of industry sectors such as mining and power distribution.
Clear and regular communications with all concerned parties.
