Nexus secures high quality capacity

Nexus Group, the specialty MGA, has announced a transaction with reinsurer PartnerRe which covers the current core financial lines underwritten by Nexus for five years.

"This partnership is a game changer for us and the London Market. It further builds our credibility and ratifies what we achieved in nearly five years of operation. We are very excited to have such a fully-fledged blue chip carrier to move forward with,” said Colin Thompson, CEO of Nexus Group.

The business will be underwritten by Nexus on behalf of PartnerRe Ireland Insurance.
