QBE Business Insurance
We’re the buffer between the best-laid plans and uncertain reality. QBE is a global business insurer with operations in all of the key insurance markets.
History
Established in 1960, Burnett & Company, Inc. operated as an independent wholesaler until December 2008, when it became a wholly owned subsidiary of QBE Insurance Group. QBE IM underwrites energy and marine lines, offering local services and expertise for our Lloyds Syndicate 1036, through offices in New Orleans, Houston and Miami.
Security
Natural Resources lines are underwritten by QBE UK Limited (“QBE UK”). Our strength and security is reflected in the insurer financial strength ratings that we receive. Marine lines are written through our Lloyds Syndicate 1036, which provides the financial strength of Lloyds. Admitted paper can also be issued for our marine lines in the US.
