Sterling Insurance has successfully secured a new professional indemnity (PI) binding authority with Lloyd's, a move that promises to provide Australian brokers with greater control over product offerings and pricing structures.
This development is part of Sterling's ongoing commitment to delivering tailored insurance solutions that meet the specific needs of niche and complex risk sectors.
As a specialist underwriting agency operating under Melbourne-based ATC Insurance Solutions, Sterling has a longstanding history of placing business into the Lloyd's market, particularly within asbestos, environmental, and engineering sectors. The newly acquired binder is expected to enhance the agency's ability to offer more certainty on terms, expedite decision-making processes, and deliver products that are finely tuned to the specialist sectors they serve.
In addition to securing the Lloyd's binder, Sterling is broadening its underwriting appetite to encompass design and construct professionals, training providers, and consultants across engineering, science, and industrial sectors. This expansion includes areas adjacent to construction, marine, energy, and aviation industries, reflecting Sterling's proactive approach to addressing the diverse needs of the professional landscape.
For brokers, this development signifies a more streamlined and responsive experience when sourcing professional indemnity coverage for clients operating in specialised fields. The combination of enhanced authority and an expanded underwriting team positions Sterling as a robust partner in navigating the complexities of professional indemnity insurance.
