Working with ES Risks for your capacity

Understanding Your Business

Our first step is to understand your business in detail—its strengths, ambitions, and underwriting expertise. We know that carriers value clarity and confidence, so we work with you to shape a compelling proposition that demonstrates the viability of your portfolio and your ability to deliver results. This groundwork helps ensure your business stands out in a competitive marketplace.

Strong Market Relationships

Our strength lies in the relationships we have built across the Lloyd’s and company markets. We maintain direct access to decision-makers and underwriters, allowing us to present your proposition effectively and negotiate from a position of strength. These connections mean we can identify the right partners for your business, matching your specific needs with carriers who share your vision.

Expert Structuring and Negotiation

Placing binding authority capacity requires technical knowledge and careful negotiation. We bring both to the table, ensuring that terms, conditions, and reporting structures are set up to support sustainable performance. By balancing the interests of both MGAs and carriers, we create agreements that foster trust, transparency, and long-term collaboration.

Ongoing Support and Oversight

Our role doesn’t end once capacity is placed. We continue to provide support through regular reviews, market updates, and advice to help you strengthen your carrier relationships. Whether it’s adapting to changes in market appetite, refining performance reporting, or exploring new opportunities, we remain an active partner in your growth journey.

Our Team.
