About forestry
Forestry and wood processing are cyclical industries closely tied to construction demand, and they are exposed to fire, equipment loss and market volatility. Stable premiums and specialist underwriting capacity are essential.
Where suitable, we explore alternative risk financing such as group captive structures, subject to a rigorous assessment of each member operation.
