Feb 11 - (The Insurer) - Amwins Global Risks has launched specialty lines MGA Contour Underwriting as part of a restructure of Amwins International Underwriting.
Contour will operate as a distinct underwriting entity alongside UK-based MGA Unicorn Underwriting and Amwins Amplify.
These three entities will be led by Simon Jackson, who was previously managing director of Unicorn Underwriting.
Jackson has also served as IQUW’s head of property, Beazley’s head of open market property and as a class underwriter at Amlin.
Contour is an open distribution specialty lines MGA that will initially target the marine cargo market.
Additional lines are set to be introduced in 2025, which Amwins said will include the rebrand of its worldwide property offering from Unicorn to Contour.
Last month, Amwins increased the line size on its Amplify facility to up to 20 percent for property, marine cargo and marine hull business after it secured capacity from Canopius, Ki and Munich Re Specialty.
