Towergate AIUA is now the UK’s largest independent agricultural underwriter and remains committed to the broker distribution channel providing a professional service combined with specialist knowledge to over 2000 insurance brokers and other intermediaries.

 

The company effectively operates as an insurance company, undertaking full responsibility for underwriting risks and has authorised claims handling authority across its product range. Our professional claims department aims for fast and fair settlements, assisted by loss adjusters who are skilled in assessing agricultural losses.

 

 

Towergate AIUA has used its decades of experience in the agricultural insurance market to established a strong track record to become one of the best-known brands in its sector. A major part of this success is due to the strength of relationships that Towergate AIUA has built with its agents who appreciate Towergate AIUA’s philosophy of, where possible, recruiting people with insurance qualifications and farm/livestock related backgrounds. Towergate AIUA is committed to the training and development of all its employees both in the insurance and farming sector to ensure high levels of knowledge and customer service, which sets it apart from competitors.

 

Business

 

In 2004, AIUA became part of Towergate Underwriting Group, one of the UK’s leading specialist insurance businesses. This provided an opportunity for AIUA to introduce personal lines products and to expand business in areas such as the high net worth sector.

 

With dramatic changes in the farming industry and agricultural land being put to ever-increasing use, we are constantly developing our broad range of products to ensure they remain relevant to rural requirements as well as increase our book of non-farming schemes.
