Could McGill and Partners achieve the almost-impossible; find in excess of $800 million of competitive insurance capacity in a hard market, shaken by Covid-19.

INEOS is a company with complex risk requirements which was seeking competitive insurance capacity in a hard market, shaken by Covid-19. Could McGill and Partners rise to the challenge by finding the capacity INEOS required, on budget and at pace?

“McGill and Partners’ approach to us was definitely a case of serendipity. We are an agile company and a very entrepreneurial organisation and we like working with like-minded people. The McGill and Partners’ team brought creative and fresh thinking.”
