Origin Specialty Underwriters Agency, a partner company of Beyond Risk, has acquired Agricultural Insurance Management Services (AIMS), an agribusiness insurance-focused MGU.
AIMS offers a variety of farm-related coverages, including homes, barns, farm equipment, auto, and liability.
According to Origin Specialty, Clark Lindley founded AIMS to address the need for quality agribusiness insurance solutions.
“In 2000, Clark began underwriting policies in-house while expanding AIMS’ agricultural agent network. Today, AIMS is an agribusiness-focused MGU providing exceptional insurance solutions to farms, ranches, equine operations, estate farms, and commercial growers of agricultural products,” the firm said.
Lindley, President of AIMS, added, “We are excited to partner with the Origin Specialty team. Origin’s approach to program underwriting, carrier and reinsurance partnerships and products, strong distribution relationships, and unique operational platform will allow us to expand the distribution of our existing product offerings while adding innovative solutions for our clients and agents.”
Neno Djordjevic, President of Origin Specialty, commented, “I am impressed with the underwriting capabilities at AIMS and outstanding customer service provided to their agents and insureds, which Clark and his team have built over the last 20+ years.
“Their long-standing agent and carrier partner relationships match our ethos at Origin Specialty, and we are excited to continue to grow with the AIMS team, reaching a broader network of agents and brokers together.”
Blake Wakefield, CEO of Beyond Risk, said, “The partnership with the AIMS team is a strategic expansion of Origin Specialty’s business and complements our existing products at Beyond Risk.
“Partnering with the AIMS team is a compelling opportunity to increase our combined underwriting and expand in an underserved market with a leading program underwriting team.”
