“Our innovative arrangement supports existing business, but also provides a catalyst for new product development.”

The latest development comes a month after Amwins announced the appointment of Yajaira Villegas to head GJS’s healthcare management liability programme, which is part of Amwins Underwriting.

In February 2023, the company made a minority investment in Australian start-up MGA incubator Rhodian.
