Solution Underwriting is an underwriting agency that offers financial lines, general liability, and accident and health insurance solutions.

The announcement of a new quoting tool follows the agency's establishment of a new office in Perth. In a previous interview, Solution Underwriting managing director Rhys Mills said the agency faces a myriad of submissions from brokers.

“We've got fabulous capacity with Chubb, AIG and Lloyd’s of London,” Mills said. “Our challenges at the moment are good challenges in that we're seeing plenty of opportunities to the point where we are employing more people and opening more offices.”
