Liberty rolls out regional retail insurance initiative across UK and Ireland

Liberty Specialty Markets  has launched a new insurance proposition for mid-sized and upper-mid-sized retail businesses across the UK and Ireland following a pilot program.

The offering is part of Liberty’s regional growth strategy and will be delivered through dedicated teams in Manchester, Bristol, and Dublin, supported by its London headquarters. The insurer said it will provide tailored insurance programs and direct access to underwriting, claims, and risk engineering specialists—an approach typically reserved for larger commercial and specialty accounts.

Liberty will also conduct pre-inception site visits to better understand clients’ operations and exposures, enabling more targeted risk mitigation support and helping streamline claims handling when losses occur.

“Liberty is focused on engaging with clients as a long-term risk partner. The proposition announced today brings that approach to mid and upper-mid retail businesses and is particularly timely as the mid-market drifts further toward commoditisation. We’re there for our clients’ worst day and, by engaging with them before a loss with our integrated underwriting, risk engineering and claims approach, we can deliver faster, better informed and more responsive support when it matters most.” – Stuart Sutherland, head of UK retail, Liberty Specialty Markets.
