Agile is pleased to announce the launch of construction underwriting with immediate effect. This follows the appointment of Gordon McNab as head of construction, which marked a significant step in the company’s strategic growth into the contract works insurance space.
McNab has been working with Agile in preparation for the launch, and now steps up to lead the class, which is backed by Agile’s own Lloyd’s syndicate – Agile Underwriting Services Syndicate AUS2427, and a panel of leading Lloyd’s partners.
He enjoys a long history as one of the market’s leading voices.
In his new role, McNab will lead further development of Agile’s construction underwriting capabilities, with a focus on establishing a robust contract works product offering.
Robin Barham, CEO of Agile, said: “We’re thrilled to have Gordon’s expertise onboard to lead our construction business. He brings the kind of deep technical knowledge, pragmatism, and mentoring spirit that perfectly fits Agile’s culture. He’ll play a key role in delivering the underwriting precision and broker support Agile is known for.”
McNab added: “Joining Agile means working alongside a professional team of underwriters who are passionate about innovation and client service. “I’m excited to bring my experience to help shape a new line of business and to share the knowledge I’ve built over the years.”
Construction now sits alongside Agile’s existing products in accident and health, aviation, casualty, cyber, drones, financial lines, marine, and property. Agile writes through licensed brokers and coverholders on a direct, reinsurance or wholesale basis.
