Accredited Surety and Casualty Company, Inc. ("Accredited"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Randall & Quilter Investment Holdings Ltd. ("R&Q") and a Florida domiciled insurance company licensed in all 50 states to write admitted business, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a new program partnership with Attune Insurance ("Attune"), which is a program administrator and has specific experience in commercial insurance programs, currently managing a Business Owners' Policies (BOP) program with over $100M in written premium in 2019.  For this program, Attune will target commercial properties used for business owners and provide property, general liability, crime, and equipment breakdown coverage.  Starting in October 2020, Accredited will be an issuing carrier on behalf of Attune.
 
Todd Campbell, President and CEO of Accredited, commented: "Attune is a dynamic and growing technology-driven General Agent (GA).  We are pleased to be their partner for this next stage of their business evolution. Accredited has a growing pipeline of new partnerships for 2020 and we are excited to be delivering on our mission to be the program underwriter of choice for US Managing General Agents (MGAs), Managing General Underwriters (MGUs), program owners and their capital partners."
 
James Hobson, CEO of Attune added: "Partnering with Accredited was a natural fit. They not only bring deep insurance expertise, but they also share our commitment to delivering a great customer experience. Our platform enables a frictionless experience for brokers to serve their small business customers in a matter of minutes with tailored products and this partnership enables us to provide additional coverage options to our customers. We are excited to launch a new version of our BOP product and to build additional products in the future with the Accredited team."
 
Alan Quilter, R&Q Group CEO, said: ''This is an exciting new partnership with a significant sized account and we look forward to a growing relationship with the Attune team. Working with Attune is further evidence of our commitment to supporting high quality program business, with superior MGAs, across the US and highlights the important role that Accredited plays in this arena.
