Arch enters underwriting partnership to better serve US restaurant industry

Arch Insurance has entered a new underwriting partnership with ProHost USA, a Minneapolis-based insurance programme administrator that provides specialty packages for the restaurant industry.

ProHost USA has been providing insurance solutions for the restaurant industry for over thirty years and is part of Distinguished Programs, a US programme administrator that looks to work with retail agents.

Paul Sullivan, executive vice president of property and casualty programmes at Arch Insurance, said, ProHost’s longevity in the restaurant business and the knowledge of their underwriters make it a great partner. “The restaurant industry is struggling right now,” he noted. “Working with ProHost USA and harnessing their expertise will enable us to serve their restaurant insureds and the industry for many years to come.”

Heidi Strommen, president of ProHost USA, said: “Arch is a market leader in specialty insurance and can help us innovate and manage risk for the benefit of our brokers and their customers. We look forward to growing the program with the Arch team.”
