Transatlantic Underwriters (TAU), a specialty insurance firm known for its focus on the transportation sector, is expanding its services with the introduction of a Property & Casualty (P&C) division.
This strategic move broadens TAU’s capabilities beyond transportation while reinforcing its commitment to that core market.
The new division will offer six lines of business: Commercial General Liability, Excess Liability, Commercial Property, Inland Marine, Builders Risk, and Garage—allowing TAU to serve a wider client base with a more comprehensive range of coverage options.
To guide this growth, TAU has appointed Bernadette Flores as Senior Vice President of Property & Casualty.
Flores brings over two decades of experience in the excess and surplus lines market, with deep expertise in sectors such as contractors, garage, habitational, and hospitality.
From its beginnings in 1989 as a three-person team, TAU has grown and continues to evolve in response to market needs. This latest expansion reflects its focus on building long-term value while delivering specialised expertise to both existing and new clients.
“Since founding TAU, I’ve always envisioned expanding beyond our transportation specialty when the timing was right,” added Colby Waltenburg, President of Transatlantic Underwriters.
“Our transportation operations are thriving, and we’re now positioned to diversify our offerings to better serve existing customers and welcome new partners. This expansion strengthens our organisation while maintaining our commitment to exceptional service in the transportation space.”
“I’ve known Colby for over 20 years and have always admired TAU’s approach to specialty insurance,” commented Flores. “The opportunity to build a new division from the ground up is something I’ve aspired to accomplish during my career. I’m incredibly thankful and excited to lead this initiative, bringing TAU’s reputation for excellence to these new lines of business.”
