Gauntlet: the AR Network Supporting Brokers With Large and Complex Risks
Ready to go it alone, without broking compromise?
Then allow the Gauntlet Appointed Representative Network to help you achieve the best of both worlds: the independence of starting your own brokerage and the buzz of continuing to handle large and complex insurance risks.
If you’re a senior broking professional, currently managing high-value, technically intricate insurance placements, and you’re ready to take control of your future, the Gauntlet AR Network is the specialist support partner you’ve been looking for.
At Gauntlet, we don’t just accept brokers who place big risks. We specialise in supporting them.
If what’s been holding you back from establishing your own brokerage is a fear that you would have to relinquish technical placements and focus only on smaller, less complex risks, worry not. Gauntlet is an AR principal that will match your ambition and support your entrepreneurial spirit all the way.
The AR Network for technical insurance specialists
Many AR networks are set up to serve brokers handling smaller, more general and easier-to-place risks. They do not support technical broking specialists. The moment you want to place a major risk or tailor a technical solution, you hit a brick wall.
It’s not all about complexity either. Some networks simply will not allow their ARs to handle larger risks.
Not so with Gauntlet.
We welcome brokers targeting:
- major commercial and corporate risks
- complex liability programmes
- niche sector placements and non-standard business
- multi-site, high-value property portfolios
- haulage, transport, and large industrial and manufacturing risks
We have all the insurer contacts and market reach that will ensure your risks can be placed in the right insurer hands.
Gauntlet also has all the technical knowledge and market insight to trouble-shoot and ensure that deals are closed at renewal.
And our long history as a commercial insurance broker, stretching back over 30 years, means we have experience in technical placement across the insurance market, including Lloyds markets.
