Career move - Producer to E&S
Hi guys, I’ve been a producer for 3 years at an independent that was just acquired by a top 10 brokerage, so far everything is really great it’s not about culture.
Prior to insurance I had 20+ years in hospitality, foodservice and F&B management. I gravitated to this as a producer as it’s very comfortable territory, what I have discovered is the “hospitality” in insurance is primarily multi unit, hotels etc.
As I’ve met and learned more about lines of coverage I’ve kind of become the tricky restaurant guy, their liquors a little high, they have live music etc.
I’m considering attempting the move into E&S brokering for Liquor and other hospitality centric lines, I love problem solving and enjoy the puzzle aspect of new placements.
I am hoping someone in here can offer some insight into this, I also like the aspect of these specific lines as they never really soften, I doubt many standard carriers even in a softening market will start writing a ton of liquor and concert venues.
