Insurer Partners
Baird MacGregor
depends upon those insurers that are committed to the brokerage system. In most
instances, those insurers tend to focus their business development energies on those
brokers who provide a significant flow of premium volume and "spread of risk". Equally
important to the underwriters is that they receive information in the form of submissions
that are well conceived and well documented.
Whether in a "hard"
or "soft" market, the basic tenets are the same. If there is to be a stable relationship
between the insurer and the insured, the needs of both must be addressed.
Through dialogue
with both buyers and sellers in the insurance marketplace, Baird MacGregor has succeeded
in retaining and expanding our client base in every year of our operation. We believe
that our steady growth reflects the fact that we are doing our job as an intermediary.
This is being recognized by insurers and insured’s alike.
The current annual
premium volume being managed by Baird MacGregor is in excess of $70,000,000. Not
only is this a big responsibility, it is also a major contributing factor to our
access to a wide range of traditional and specialist insurance markets including
underwriting authorities for several niche classes.
Our portfolio is
comprised of domestic business, both local and national in scope, plus international
placements. Several accounts generate annual premium income in excess of one million
dollars. Some of the key accounts are franchised systems or association programs,
where service is geared to meet the needs of the independent entrepreneur. We are
equally comfortable dealing in a boardroom environment, or one-on-one with the small
business owner.
While Baird MacGregor
has developed major strengths in niche markets, there is also a significant range
of general commercial and industrial clients for whom risk management and insurance
services are provided. Often these individual placements are the seed that leads
to the development of new specialties. In such cases we emphasize the risk identification
and assessment issues first. We then work creatively with the entrepreneur in developing
administrative solutions and funding mechanisms, including insurance - with a broad
range of insurers at a price consistent with exposures.
