Beazley launches environmental coverage in Canada
July 18 2017 - 7:00AM
Beazley, a leading provider of specialist environmental liability
insurance, has launched its local environmental coverage in Canada.
Nick Bidwell, an experienced underwriter of environmental risks,
has joined Beazley to develop business in Canada, focusing on fixed
site and operational liability risks. Prior to joining Beazley, Mr
Bidwell was the Canadian national underwriting lead for site
liability at Zurich. Before that, he held environmental consulting
positions at Conestoga-Rovers & Associates/GHD in Canada and
WSP Environmental in the UK. He is based in Beazley’s Toronto
office.
Beazley covers a wide range of environmental risks including
operational coverage for businesses that may face claims for
polluting the premises of third parties; professional liability
coverage for environmental consultants; protection for ongoing
fixed site operations; contractors’ pollution liability; and
brownfield site remediation. Key target industries are the
manufacturing, industrial, real estate, hospital and educational
sectors.
Jayne Cunningham, Beazley’s environmental focus group leader,
said: “We’re excited to expand Beazley’s specialist environmental
coverage to the Canadian market and look forward to developing
creative solutions for local clients. Nick is extremely
knowledgeable about the environmental risks faced by local
organizations and will help Beazley build local distribution for
risks that don’t typically reach the London market.”
