By GlobalData“A key aspect of this growth strategy is to expand our specialist insurance operations, and we were particularly attracted to Fresh because of the nature of their business and their distribution model.
“They, like us, are highly niche, and their expertise in non-standard personal lines products, such as young drivers and hard to insure household, will complement our growing portfolio of specialist insurance business.”
NSM Insurance Group offers insurance programmes which include CAT driven property; social services and behavioural health; collector cars; workers’ compensation; professional liability for architects and engineers; staffing; sports and fitness, among others.
