St George Underwriting Agency will add its products to the Steadfast Client Trading Platform later this year.

The move is “a natural next step in our growth journey”, CEO Rowan Watson says.

“It gives us access to a larger market and provides an easier and more efficient option for brokers to transact.”

The underwriting agency, part of the Envest group, changed its capacity provider last year, announcing its products would be backed by the Lloyd’s market.

Mr Watson says this has enabled the business to grow its current offerings and introduce new products, and early signs of the partnership’s strength are “incredibly promising”.

“We have experienced an amazing amount of support from our broker partners in the past 12 months and ... we have taken a deep dive into what our clients value the most and how we would like to be perceived in the market,” he said.

St George, a specialist in residential investment properties since 1991, offers domestic rental cover and protection for short-term holiday stays.
