Manchester Underwriting Management Limited (MUM) has acquired the portfolio renewal rights of Pinpoint Underwriting.
Pinpoint is led by Scott Ruff, who has worked in the industry for over 35 years, previously with Aviva before establishing Pinpoint.
Joining Ruff at MUM will be both Roger Wallace and Brian Kerrigan, effective immediately.
Charles Manchester, Chief Executive of MUM, commented: “Manchester Underwriting Management is about providing quality products, fantastic service and first-class security. Our underwriters make decisions and we provide a great claim service.
“It is great to have Scott and his team on board, they have a great reputation and are respected and well known in the market. Their approach to underwriting fits with the MUM ethos. Scott and the team will only strengthen MUM.”
Ruff further added: “It has been a pleasure working with the team over the last seven years to create, develop and build Pinpoint into the success it is today.
“However when the opportunity was presented to become part of the Manchester Underwriting Management team, it was a perfect fit for the Pinpoint team to join a much larger progressive organisation with a similar underwriting philosophy and who understands the importance of good customer service and broker relationships. We look forward to our new journey with MUM and continuing to give a great service to our existing customers and developing new relationships.”
In relation to the deal, MUM is set to retain Pinpoint’s Perth office Scotland, adding to its existing London, Bristol, and Leeds offices.
