Elitium, a new general agent incubated by Mission, has been launched to provide commercial comprehensive insurance for selected industries within the manufacturing industry, as well as property insurance for vacant residential and commercial properties that are well maintained.
The company explains that the strategy employed by Elitium is rooted in traditional, expert-led underwriting. This approach relies on honest communication, expertise and detailed judgment for each risk assessment.
MGA’s commercial integrated offering covers manufacturing companies, including printers, engineers, metal fabricators, electronics, plastics and woodworking companies, as well as its idle real estate portfolio.
MGA is co-founded and led by Linda Bichener, former commercial underwriting manager at DUAL, and Leah Miller, former senior commercial underwriter at DUAL.
Linda Bichener, co-founder and co-CEO of Elitium, said: “We founded Elitium to bring care, attention and expert judgment back to the underwriting process. We believe that every risk should be properly understood and every broker should have direct access to the decision-maker.
“That’s why every submission is reviewed by experienced underwriters to ensure brokers can deliver tailor-made contract-specific terms to clients. We are a true extension of the broker team, providing dedicated underwriting expertise and responsive support.”
“For us, underwriting is a true craft,” added co-founder and co-CEO Leah Miller. “Brokers come to us because their clients cannot fully integrate into automated systems, and our role is to listen, advise and build cover that actually works in practice, not just theory. We deliberately limit our interest to areas that we are passionate about and understand deeply, allowing us to underwrite with confidence, consistency and sound judgement.”
Commenting on the launch, Ross Dingwall, CEO of Mission, said: “Elitium embodies exactly what Mission is all about: creating specialist MGAs from experienced underwriters with a clear, long-term vision, expertise and drive to serve partners and clients. I am confident that Leah and Linda’s thoughtful underwriting and extensive experience in this specialized area will set them apart.”
