Firedart: Refocused and Exciting New Look

18 February 2014 Firedart Engineering Underwriting Managers

As the famous French philosopher, Henri Bergson once said, “To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly”.

Firedart derives a lot of inspiration from such thinking and our recent decision to discontinue the Construction Guarantee Underwriting Division and solely focus on Engineering is one such example of how we subscribe to progressive change in our business.

In line with this thinking, Firedart will be changing its name from Firedart and Construction Guarantee Underwriting Managers to Firedart Engineering Underwriting Managers. Our branding and logo has also received a makeover as a result.

Firedart has a proud history with 13 years’ experience in underwriting engineering business. Our products are tailored made solutions for all types of engineering risks and include Contractors All Risks, Advanced loss of profits, Plant All Risks, Machinery breakdown, Loss of Profits, Deterioration of Stock, Works Damage, Electronic Equipment and Dismantling Transit and Erection.

Commenting on the refocus of Firedart to engineering underwriting only, Mike Tandy, the Managing Director of Firedart, comments as follows: "Market conditions in the guarantee sector have called for us to revisit our product portfolio and to only offer engineering solutions with effect from January 2014. Engineering is a niche in the insurance market that we are passionate about, have excellent understanding of and have excelled in for over a decade. With our refreshed brand and focused underwriting approach we are equipped and are positioning ourselves for the growth opportunities spurred by infrastructural development locally and elsewhere on the continent. The Firedart name is well known to our valued partners, our brokers as well as the rest of the short term insurance industry and we look forward to continuing to bring great service and specialist advice to both our brokers and their clients”.
