In case you’ve been on vacation for an entire month, let us bring you up to date: QBE and Arrowhead recently expanded their partnership with the launch of Arrowhead Core Commercial Program, which will be based in Sun Prairie, WI. Nearly 50 QBE employees are in the process of transitioning to becoming Arrowhead employees after their Independence Day holidays. While they’ll still work at the same QBE campus, they have Arrowhead-dedicated offices that overlook a greenbelt and pond, says Arrowhead President Steve Boyd.

QBE continues as carrier for the program and Arrowhead will become program administrator effective July 1 for QBE’s Property & Casualty Small Commercial business, which consists of accounts under $100,000 in premium. We’re beginning the process to notify producers on a state-by-state basis, who will transition to using our Arrowhead Exchange platform to quote and bind policies beginning in January 2018. The first-year premium for Core Commercial is expected to be about $200 million.

“Moving the business to Arrowhead and our online platform makes it easier for producers to transact business,” Boyd explained. “It also provides producers new to Arrowhead with access to additional products to round out their offerings. Both will drive growth for Arrowhead.”
