Envest Group Unveils TLI Underwriting to Serve Large Truck Fleets

Envest Group Unveils TLI Underwriting to Serve Large Truck Fleets

Envest Group, a prominent entity in the insurance sector, has announced the launch of TLI Underwriting, a specialized heavy motor agency set to commence operations at the end of this month.
This new venture is poised to cater specifically to the insurance needs of larger truck fleets, marking a significant expansion in Envest's service offerings.

TLI Underwriting will function as an authorized representative of ATL Insurance Group, Envest's heavy motor specialist underwriter. The agency's primary focus will be on delivering tailored insurance products and underwriting expertise to the larger fleet segment, addressing a previously underserved market.

Richard Heilig, CEO of Envest Agencies, emphasized the strategic importance of this launch. He noted that while ATL has traditionally concentrated on small to medium-sized transport owner-operators, TLI Underwriting will enable the group to extend its reach and better serve larger fleet operators with specialized products and dedicated underwriting expertise.

Leading TLI Underwriting is Pat Miller, formerly the CEO of PSC's Australian and UK broking operations. Miller highlighted a clear gap in the market concerning dedicated service and support for brokers working with heavy motor fleet operators. He stated that TLI Underwriting aims to fill this void by offering comprehensive insurance programs that deliver tangible value to fleet businesses.

For transport business owners and fleet managers, the introduction of TLI Underwriting presents an opportunity to access insurance solutions specifically designed for larger operations. The agency's emphasis on service, risk management, and long-term partnerships aligns with the industry's need for reliable and comprehensive coverage.

As the transport and logistics sector continues to evolve, having access to specialized insurance providers like TLI Underwriting can be instrumental in mitigating risks and ensuring operational continuity. Fleet operators are encouraged to explore the offerings of this new agency to determine how it can meet their unique insurance requirements.
