Skyward Specialty Insurance Group, Inc., part of Skyward Group, has broadened its Excess & Surplus (E&S) property offerings by introducing excess coverage.

The expansion is part of the Company’s ongoing efforts to provide a wider range of E&S solutions. The additional capacity is intended to support layered programmes for complex, non-catastrophe property risks, enhancing the company’s ability to serve clients in the E&S market.

This development follows the appointment of Christopher Zitzmann as President of Inland Marine and Transactional E&S, aimed at strengthening the company’s presence in specialised insurance sectors.

“As property risks become more complex and outpace traditional market solutions, the demand for tailored excess solutions continues to accelerate, and by expanding our portfolio, we are addressing a meaningful gap in the E&S property market. The excess market is competitive as ever and, with more risks flowing into the non-admitted space, we are applying our underwriting expertise to solve real capacity challenges without compromising our appetite and discipline,” added Zitzmann.

“We are well positioned with the industry’s most experienced underwriting team to deliver customised, scalable solutions and more fully support the needs of our clients and partners.”
