Epsilon Underwriting Agency has created a new accident and health division to be led by former Beazley Australia accident and health underwriter Tim Curling, who joins with immediate effect.
Curling is an industry veteran with over 16 years in accident and health business in Australia, including senior underwriting roles at SRS Underwriting in Brisbane and more recently with Beazley Underwriting in Sydney.
Curling will report to Chief Underwriting Officer (CUO), Paul O’Leary.
“Accident and health is the first of a number of new products we plan to release to the market over the next two years,” said O’Leary; “We are delighted to have secured Tim to lead our efforts in the class, he is renowned in the Australian market and brings an unparalleled level of expertise.”
Epsilon’s accident and health product aims to focus on tailor-made medium-to-large group personal accident and sickness and group journey accident covers.
Morgan Long, Epsilon’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), said; “It is time to take advantage, allowing brokers to place their business with truly independent non-conflicted facilities. We intend to develop more facilities over the next two years as we pursue an aggressive development platform.”
Epsilon’s accident and health division will focus on construction, mining, energy, transport, manufacturing, electrical and plumbing, union and non-union EBA compliant income protection covers, as well as industry association schemes and amateur sports PA insurance
