Special Risk Insurance Brokers Ltd. was founded in 1992 by the late George A. Brown. Ray Willie became involved in the operation in 1993, and is now the president. Originally specializing in difficult personal lines risks (i.e. multiple claims), the company's focus soon grew to encompass a broader range of services, in both Personal & Commercial Lines.
Over the years, Special Risk has become involved with several insurance companies, both domestic and overseas. We have developed specialized insurance niche products for hard-to-place accounts, and acquired numerous underwriting facilities for a variety of classes. We have several contracts in place with Lloyd's, allowing us to consider an array of diverse and unique risks, along with providing a solid market for surplus lines.
Originally based in Langley, our office relocated to the sunny beaches of White Rock, B.C., in 1996. We encourage any of our brokers who are in the area to stop in and visit, and take a stroll along White Rock's famous promenade.
Our philosophy at Special Risk is simple, but focused. We are in business to provide the most expedient and efficient service to our brokers, to assist them in placing accounts for which they may have encountered difficulty. We are here to provide solutions for all kinds and sizes of brokerages, to assist them in finding markets to fill their general insurance needs. Sometimes, this may require providing a full package of coverages (Commercial General Liability, Property and Commercial Automobile), and sometimes it requires simply participating on a subscription form already in place (such as providing a percentage of capacity for a property account) - whatever the need, we are here to help !
