Director
Brooklyn Underwriting
Major expansion plans are underway for Tim Fairbrother and Brooklyn Underwriting in 2020. Speaking to Insurance Business in December, Fairbrother confi rmed the agency would be doubling the size of its staff over the next year.
“This will ensure we continue to provide our high level of service standards and improve our reach geographically,” Fairbrother said. “We also have a number of new products that will be released in 2020, and we are investing heavily in technology to ensure efficiencies across the business.”
Brooklyn claimed five medals in the 2019 Brokers on Underwriters survey – a gold for product liability, three silvers across various financial lines and a bronze for its cyber and IT offering. Brokers clearly see Brooklyn among the best, and Fairbrother said the agency consistently seeks their input.
“We constantly communicate with brokers,” he said. “We ask for feedback, keep up with movements and changes within the market, and run in-house training on current market trends and compliance.”
