 Casualty & General Insurance Company (Europe), the Gibraltar-based specialist in liability cover, has opened a representative office in London as part of its plan to grow its business in the UK, particularly its casualty account.

 The new office in Leadenhall Street, Casualty & General’s first outside Gibraltar, is to be led by director Andy Moulsdale, who will focus on developing relationships with UK insurance brokers.

 Moulsdale said: “Casualty & General has been building its UK business from Gibraltar but we wanted to get even closer to UK brokers, particularly smaller, regional firms. With our high levels of service, access to decision makers and online quotations, we believe we have a very strong offering. Brokers can get a quote from us in just 1–3 hours.

 “Ultimately, our plan is to convert this new representative office into a full branch office.”

 Casualty & General was founded in 2003 by former-Lloyd’s underwriter Danny Gibson. Since then the company has grown steadily and profitably, writing business in both UK and French markets. The company focuses on providing liability cover for all industries including high hazard–high risk professions along with tailor-made solutions for scheme business.

 Andy Moulsdale managed an Essex-based underwriting agency prior to joining Casualty & General in 2007. In addition to underwriting the company’s casualty account with Danny Gibson, Moulsdale is seeking to grow the company’s agency base while promoting new and existing products to the UK market.
