PREFERRED PARTNERS Pioneer Preferred Partners is based in London and has authority to build a substantial worldwide portfolio focused on high quality opportunities across the property, casualty and marine classes of business. The team has expertise across a wide range of business classes which allows us to create bespoke solutions for complex multi-line risks.

We take a targeted geographic approach with individuals who have a substantial knowledge of the local market and the specific class of business to create niche books of business. We write a wide variety of classes with a focus on property, casualty and marine and have the capability to provide package solutions, e.g. property and casualty business. Our underwriting facility underwrites business on behalf of our Lloyd s partner, Liberty Syndicate.
