The Baldwin Group launches Azimuth Re

The Baldwin Group announced the launch of Azimuth Re, Ltd., a new member-owned group captive developed in partnership with Innovative Captive Strategies and tailored for Baldwin’s construction clients.

The program targets construction companies spending at least $250,000 a year on workers’ compensation, general liability, and auto insurance. It includes a $350,000 captive retention, aligning incentives around safety and long-term results, and is aimed at contractors focused on improving safety and gaining more visibility into their insurance costs.

“In today’s ultra-competitive construction environment, the strongest contractors are those who can most effectively balance growth, risk, and profitability with precision and discipline. As we move forward through 2026 and beyond, we anticipate volatility across many critical sectors of the construction insurance market. By creating a peer group of best-in-class contractors and equipping them with industry-leading risk management, claims, and safety advisory, we’re building a model designed to outperform the standard insurance market while empowering our clients to transform risk management discipline into a competitive advantage.” – Andy O’Brien, Partner at The Baldwin Group.

“What makes Azimuth different is its model of collective responsibility. All members operate under a single broker model and a shared, disciplined risk lens. But we go beyond placing coverage — our construction experts help guide member selection, risk strategy, and long-term performance to protect the strength of the group. That shared accountability drives stronger, more sustainable results. This isn’t going to be our only captive solution where we put any client that is looking for the captive model. It is going to be a place for our like-minded top performers to outpace the market while being on the vanguard of creativity in structure and return.” – Greg Deems, Senior Partner, The Baldwin Group.
