White Bear Group has expanded its MGA platform with the addition of a bloodstock trading unit.

The division will operate under a binding authority agreement backed by Lloyd’s capacity, which now includes the addition of Blenheim Syndicate 5886.

It will sit alongside White Bear’s other trading units, including energy liability, builders risk, management liability and aviation.

Appointments

White Bear, which is comprised of a Lloyd’s managing agency, Blenheim Underwriting and its MGA trading platform, has also made several appointments that will look after the bloodstock arm.

Tara Woodward will serve as a bloodstock underwriter, while Madeline Long has been appointed as bloodstock underwriting assistant.

The duo, who both join from Castel Specialty, bring nearly 35 years’ experience between them to White Bear.
