In a statement, Aspen stated that it is working with the management team at Aspen Risk Management to ensure all policyholder obligations and service requirements are, “fully supported and consistent with Aspen’s standards of policyholder and broker service.”

The decision, according to the company, will have no impact on its mainstream UK Property and Casualty business.

The move is part of the company’s strategy to bolster its ‘competitive position’ and enhance operational efficiency under the new ownership.

Moreover, Aspen has also started the process of closing its Dublin office as a result of the proposed move of its Dublin Excess Casualty underwriting business to London.
