Everest Re Group, Ltd. RE today announced that its wholly-owned
primary insurance subsidiary, Everest Security Insurance Company, (“ESIC”) has
entered into a definitive agreement with Arrowhead General Insurance Agency,
Inc. (“Arrowhead”), a subsidiary of Brown & Brown, Inc. BRO, whereby
ESIC will transfer certain assets associated with its non-standard automobile
business to Arrowhead.
Effective April 1, 2013, all of ESIC's employees will become employees of
Arrowhead and Everest will become the exclusive underwriter of the combined
non-standard automobile book of business for Arrowhead. This strategic
alliance will grow Everest's non-standard automobile business from $30 million
to approximately $80 million under the combined book. The pairing of Everest's
financial strength with Arrowhead's longstanding expertise in the non-standard
automobile sector creates operational efficiencies and growth opportunities
for both parties.
Daryl Bradley, President of Everest's primary insurance operations, stated, “I
am very pleased to expand our current business relationship with Arrowhead.
This alliance gives Everest immediate scale in the non-standard automobile
sector and the ability to utilize Arrowhead's infrastructure and technology
capabilities to expand our market share in this sector.”
Chris Walker, Chief Executive Officer of Arrowhead, said, “The decision to
enter into this agreement developed from Arrowhead's longstanding relationship
with Everest as it currently writes several programs with Arrowhead. Everest
is a blue chip company with exceptional financial strength and smart, creative
people driven to produce strong results,” Walker further commented,
“Fortunately, we have built longstanding business and personal relationships
with the Everest team and frequently discuss program opportunities. This
venture will allow Everest to further tap into our infrastructure and
technology capabilities as we work together to scale the program for growth.
It truly is a win-win scenario.”
