Courchaine will write Excess and Surplus General Liability on a primary and excess basis targeting manufacturing, construction and premises risks through wholesale brokers.
The move extends Brit Global Specialty USA’s property and specialty package offering to include the mono-line casualty market.
Courchaine will be joined by Peter Canna as vice president, Underwriting. Canna, a former colleague of Courchaine, comes to Brit from Everest.
The team will be based in Hartford, Conn. and aim to begin writing business in June, subject to Lloyd’s approval, the company said.
