AmWINS Program Underwriters (“APU”) today announced a partnership with General Star Management Company to administer General Star’s new Restaurant Delivery Program.
The program is designed for hired and non-owned auto liability risks engaged in restaurant delivery services. Businesses with 20 or fewer locations are eligible on a nationwide basis, with the exception of Louisiana.
“Success in this specialized niche is dependent on experience and expertise, and the APU Restaurant Delivery team, led by Keith George, has over three decades of both,” said Ben Francavilla, President of AmWINS Program Underwriters. “We are confident that this new partnership with General Star will provide long-term value to customers as the demand for this kind of coverage continues to increase.”
The program will be written on a non-admitted basis by General Star Indemnity Company, which is rated A++ (Superior) by A.M. Best Company and carries an AA+ Insurance Financial Strength Rating from Standard & Poor’s Corporation. General Star is a wholly-owned subsidiary of General Reinsurance Corporation, a member of the Berkshire Hathaway family of companies.
“We are delighted to partner with AmWINS Program Underwriters,” said Tom Gersch, Vice President and Programs Unit Manager for General Star. “They have an enviable nationwide reputation as a skilled program administrator. We are pleased to collaborate with them as we respond to this need in the market.”
AmWINS Program Underwriters is a managing general agency within the Underwriting division of AmWINS Group, Inc. (“AmWINS”), a global distributor of specialty insurance products and services.
