Starwind Specialty Insurance Services, a CRC Group company, has expanded its underwriting expertise with the launch of four new insurance programs: Starwind Environmental, Starwind PVT (Political Violence & Terrorism), Starwind Equipment, and Starwind Cannabis.
Starwind Environment, to be led by Mike Padula as Program President, has been designed to deliver comprehensive environmental risk solutions including Contractors Pollution Liability (CPL), Contractors Pollution and Professional Liability (CPPL), Site Pollution Liability (SPL), Transportation Pollution Liability (TPL), and Environmental Excess Liability (EXL).
The program offers flexible, tailored coverage for contractors, property owners, and environmental service providers managing complex environmental exposures.
Led by Program President Chris Kirby, Starwind PVT, offers Terrorism, Active Assailant, and Workplace Violence coverage. This exclusive product for CRC brokers aims to deliver critical protection beyond TRIA/TRIPRA, covering physical damage, business interruption, and liability risks tied to a broad range of violent incidents.
Randi Glazer will be leading Starwind Equipment as Program President. This program has been designed to protect heavy construction equipment at the point of sale through its Property Damage Insurance (PDI) and Extended Service Contracts (ESC) solution.
Under the leadership of Program President Tony McIntosh, Starwind Cannabis will provide adaptable and tailored insurance for the cannabis industry.
Offerings will range from essential crop and property protection to specialised solutions such as Workers’ Compensation and Inland Marine.
“These new program launches exemplify what makes Starwind Specialty so powerful within the CRC Underwriting family — speed to market, deep specialization, and an unwavering commitment to our retail partners,” said Bill Goldstein, CEO of CRC Underwriting. “Starwind’s specialist teams understand their industries inside and out, enabling them to craft smarter, more effective coverage solutions that drive results for our clients.”
