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 25 years experience in the agricultural market to establish 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 chairman David Murray Wells is a farmer running 2000 acres in North Yorkshire and managing director Andrew Bell spent the early part of his career in agricultural insurance under the auspices of the NFU Mutual. It is this wealth of experience within the agricultural industry at senior and underwriting levels that sets Towergate AIUA apart from its competitors. Towergate AIUA are committed to the training and development of all its employees to ensure high levels of customer service.

 

The company has achieved spectacular growth in the last few years following an announcement by the RSA in December 2002 to transfer all its farm business and schemes.

 

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. Significant investment has been made to computer systems and additional offices to guarantee Towergate AIUA’s commitment to further growth, clients and staff.
