To ensure consistency in underwriting approach and relationships with existing QBE agents, QBE underwriters and operations professionals assigned to commercial accounts under $100,000 in premium will become part of the Arrowhead team. Walter Grote, currently senior vice president, Small Commercial, QBE North America will join Arrowhead to lead Arrowhead Core Commercial, which will be headquartered in Sun Prairie, Wis.
Within the next year the QBE Small Commercial products will be transitioned to the Arrowhead policy platform on a state-by-state basis to facilitate an easier and more efficient underwriting experience for agents and their clients. The companies say this will make product improvements easier to execute to meet the evolving needs of the small commercial marketplace.
