Brown and Brown has teamed up with managing general agent Progeny Underwriting to offer its brokers exclusive access to Progeny’s agricultural proposition. The proposition includes core farm and motor covers as well as products for livestock herd and disease risks. Brokers will also get access to Progeny Protect, which is a management liability protection product designed to cater for legal and regulatory risks in the agricultural sector.

Progeny has recently agreed a three-year binder backed by MSIG Europe SE, with Axa XL and HB Underwriting providing additional capacity on separate lines.

Alun Roberts, CEO and founder of Progeny, said: “This partnership delivers a genuinely differentiated proposition in a specialist sector for Brown and Brown brokers, strengthening their proposition in an area where choice can often be limited.”

Debbie Airey, area managing director at Brown and Brown – agriculture, added: “Our focus is on making sure farmers and rural businesses are supported by specialists who understand the sector and the pressures clients face every day.

“Our partnership with Progeny gives our brokers access to products that are not available elsewhere in the market and strengthens our offering to customers.”
