Delegated Authorities

Kiln is a long established market leader in the provision of delegated authorities to underwriting agencies. Our focus is on those businesses that have specialist technical and distribution capabilities. We aim to foster close and open partnerships with firms that share our profit objectives and wish to develop a longer term relationship built upon mutual trust and transparency.

Our business is truly international; we have coverholders in over 42 countries of the world. Our underwriters regularly visit our coverholders in order to understand their business and plans. Kiln has a dedicated binding authority team that offers administrative support and oversight to ensure that the contract runs smoothly and efficiently for both sides.

Kiln has coverholders who focus on commercial affinity business, homeowners insurance, course of construction risks, mortgage impairment, ‘forced placed’ repossessed property and many other niche areas.
