iSure Ireland

Maintaining a strong underwriting performance YTD, iSure Ireland is on target to write over €19 million by Year End in June 2023, following €9.4 million GWP for the first six months of the year, versus a target of €9.5 million. The last quarter witnessed the launch of iFarm Ireland, including Agricultural Vehicles which secured over €30,000 of premium in November. Kevin Kiely will head this product in 2023. Finishing the year on a high, the iSure Christmas Jumper Day in December raised money for Cuan Cancer charity.

iSure Ireland welcomed Shauna Murray to the team as a new Insurance Apprentice. An ideal way to recruit new staff, apprenticeships combine on-the-job training with the complexities of theory through online learning. At the end of the three-year programme, Shauna will be awarded BA Honours in Insurance Practice, fully trained as an Underwriter for iSure.

Looking ahead to 2023, iSure will launch Self Build and Professional Indemnity Insurance into the Irish Market in February. This will further strengthen the already strong brand reputation in the Irish insurance market.

iSure UK

Reflecting on 2022, iSure UK welcomed Rachel Griffiths to the team as an Underwriting Assistant. Joining Katie, Rita and Simon, Rachel will assist specifically with Medical Malpractice and Allied Health renewals.

Sports and Leisure continues a steady growth trajectory in line with the Group and inflation, looking for significant rate increases on the product. Like many other UK Property Schemes, Sports and Leisure endured claims in December due to burst pipes and excess water following the sudden change in temperatures from below-freezing to very mild in a short period.

Getting straight back to work after the festive period, we launched a Chiropractor scheme under our Medical Malpractice product, in partnership with Towergate - from 1st January 2023. iSure UK is excited about a selection of significant opportunities for growth in 2023so watch this space!
