Initially, BHSI will underwrite property, casualty, financial lines, construction and engineering insurance. The firm expects to increase its product range in the country eventually.

In January, the company expanded its North American transactional liability insurance business into the UK and Europe.

It also unveiled plans to expand into the property construction insurance market in the UK and Ireland. This venture will be led by Simeon Seamer, who previously served at SCOR Global P&C.
