Wholesale Insurance Services
Cruden Read Construction risk placement specialists to our retail broking partners.
Cruden Read provides wholesale broking services to our retail broking partners with a focus on the construction sector. With over 50 years of combined construction industry experience, we are committed to creating value for our partners and the clients of our partners by providing high-quality advisory services coupled with superior products and risk transfer solutions.
We place contract works and liability policies, both annual and/or project-specific, across the full spectrum of the construction sector from principal arranged programmes to head contractors, civil contractors, trade contractors, engineers and all subcontractors and consultants.
As a wholesale broker we are not tied to, nor do we act as agents for any one insurer for security. We have strong relationships with all recognised construction insurance markets both locally and overseas. We are driven to utilise this insurance market presence to ensure the most appropriate and efficient placement on all our engagements including placements that are considered highly challenging due to the nature of the work being undertaken.

Testimonials
“We utilised the services of CR for a Wholesale Construction Placement. They were able to arrange favourable terms and restructured our clients programme when the holding Underwriting Agency was unable to provide terms due to a large project commencing.
Terms were also broader than the incumbents which lead to our broking house retaining the business.”
