RSA, the leading global insurer, announced today that it has combined its large, risk managed and specialist businesses across the globe to create the Global Specialty Lines (GSL) division.

Led by Paul Donaldson, Group Sales and Broker Relationships Director, the GSL division is comprised of its specialist departments: Risk Solutions; Construction and Engineering; Marine; and Renewable Energy. 

RSA writes over £1bn of premium across these businesses and is aiming to develop them further through sharing and demonstrating its in-depth technical expertise and levering its global reach, heritage and reputation. 

Paul Donaldson said:

“There are only a small number of insurers who can write risk solutions and specialty business across the globe, and we intend to be the very best of them. Our customers are varied and different, and they need the support that a globally coordinated programme can provide them.

“It’s therefore imperative that we harness all our skills and offerings across the Group to enable us to meet the needs of our current and potential global customers.”
