Backed by Atain Insurance Companies, Solution Targets CAT-Prone Areas and Can Be Combined with Unique Contents-Only Offering
FARMINGTON HILLS, MICH. (APRIL 8, 2025) — Burns & Wilcox, a globally recognized leader in wholesale insurance brokerage and distribution, today unveiled an exclusive offering from its National Personal Insurance Practice in partnership with Atain Insurance Companies, an “A” rated (Excellent by AM Best) insurance carrier, which will provide new capacity for Burns & Wilcox to write more high value homes within its portfolio.
The product is available throughout California, Colorado and Florida, along with the Gulf and Atlantic states. Additionally, Burns & Wilcox can add a contents-only offering to provide a more complete solution for retail insurance agents and their insureds.
“Following the January wildfires in California, it is becoming increasingly difficult to secure homeowners coverage across the U.S. We are excited to step in, bring additional capacity and deliver to the marketplace a much needed solution,” said Bill Gatewood, Corporate Senior Vice President and Personal Insurance Practice Leader. “Burn & Wilcox is proud of our long track record of successful underwriting. Our team’s acumen, coupled with the trusted partnership with Atain, makes this a great opportunity to extend our leadership position in the high value homeowners market.”
Burns & Wilcox remains the largest personal insurance wholesaler in the U.S., based on annual premium written. The company expects to continue expanding its high value homeowners offering throughout the year.
“We have worked hard to firmly establish a strong reputation for Burns & Wilcox in the marketplace,” added Gatewood. “Our expectation is that in the coming months, we will have additional backing to extend the TIV within these policies even further.”
Appointed agents can contact their local Burns & Wilcox office to access the new high value homeowners product.
