Commercial underwriting agency Miramar Group will partner with Canopius as capacity provider for Miramar Sports products.

Canopius will replace Pacific International as capacity provider.

“We’re delighted to deepen our relationship with Canopius,” Miramar Group CEO Stephen Ward said.

“Having worked successfully together across other areas of our business, extending the relationship into our sports portfolio was a natural next step.”

Miramar Group GM for specialty Jason Thoroughgood says Canopius brings “financial strength, security and reliability to brokers securing cover for their clients.

“This expanded partnership reflects our commitment to providing robust underwriting solutions backed by a globally recognised insurer, including niche and underserved sectors such as sporting groups, leisure businesses and licensed clubs.”

Canopius head of distribution for Australia and New Zealand Tesh Patel says the (re)insurer has “built a strong working relationship with the Miramar team and have seen first-hand their commitment to brokers and their clients”.
