Crux Underwriting, a multi-line specialty MGA combining deep underwriting expertise with real-time data and analytics, has launched a new Liability product, fully backed by Lloyd's capacity and led by AXIS' Syndicate 1686.

The product will be underwritten by a senior liability team led by Chris Jones, CEO of Liability; Will Shepherd-Barron, Head of International Liability; and David Clark, Head of Canadian Liability, bringing extensive experience in managing complex liability risks worldwide.

The team will offer a line size up to GBP 40m / USD 60m / EUR 53.3m / AUD 80m / CAD 80m, providing a level of capacity rarely available through MGAs and a clear differentiator in the market. Their focus will be on building a high-quality portfolio underpinned by Crux's modern technology platform, Crux Hub, and written in partnership with Lloyd's brokers via wholesale distribution and international coverholders.

The Crux Hub offers an added benefit to coverholders, enabling them to deliver strong underwriting performance while achieving best-in-class operational efficiency.

Claims will be handled by industry leader DWF Claims Ltd, providing a superior service on behalf of Crux's Syndicate partners.

By combining modern technology, best-in-class third-party providers and a deep understanding of client needs, the team is set to challenge conventional perceptions of what an MGA in the London market can deliver.

I'm delighted to announce Crux's expansion into the liability market, specialising in international GL and ancillary products. Building on our reputation for outstanding service and product quality, our team is focused on delivering a market-leading proposition to our clients. Most importantly, our relentless focus on differentiated customer service and experience will reset expectations of what a market-leading proposition should look like. We look forward to engaging with both long-standing brokers and clients, as well as building new relationships across the market. Chris Jones, CEO Liability

We are pleased to join up with the Crux team to deliver A-rated capacity through their innovative tech-enabled general liability platform. This complements our strategy to thoughtfully expand our liability portfolio through strong trading relationships with experienced, credible partners who bring something different to the market. Sarah Stephen, Head of Liability, Global Markets, AXIS
