Amwins Acquires Jackson-Lloyd, Adding Non-Subscribers Insurance to ASCS Accident + Health Portfolio
Founded in 1989 in Longview, Texas, by industry veteran Thomas Lloyd, Jackson-Lloyd is widely regarded as a pioneer in non-subscriber occupational accident programs. The company provides employers with comprehensive, cost-effective alternatives to the traditional workers’ compensation system for non-subscribers in Texas and exempted employers in Kansas. Jackson-Lloyd’s deep underwriting expertise and long-standing reputation in this niche market made it a natural fit for ASCS’ expanding casualty platform.
“We’re excited to bring this new capability to our underwriting platform,” said Ryan Armijo, president of Amwins’ underwriting division. “Now as part of ASCS and under Andrew Kay’s leadership, we are incredibly well-positioned to help retail agents secure best-in-class non-subscriber coverage for their clients.”
“Jackson-Lloyd has built an incredible business — a truly differentiated underwriting platform in a niche that demands deep expertise. Tommy and his team bring decades of specialized knowledge and paired with ASCS’s technology, actuarial capabilities and distribution reach, we see significant runway to grow this offering and deliver even more value to employers and retail partners alike,” said Andrew Kay, President of Amwins Specialty Casualty Solutions.
ASCS is a full-service MGA with more than 20 programs and robust expertise in delivering specialty solutions to niche markets including transportation, healthcare, public entity, PEO and professional lines. The addition of Jackson-Lloyd’s specialized non-subscriber offering deepens ASCS’ accident + health capabilities and extends its reach into an underserved segment of the market. Amwins’ proprietary technology, data analytics, actuarial expertise and national distribution network will support the continued growth and expansion of Jackson-Lloyd’s competitive product suite.
“Finding the right home for Jackson-Lloyd meant finding a partner who understood what we’d built and had the resources to take it further. Amwins and ASCS checked every box — the infrastructure, the market relationships and the genuine commitment to specialty underwriting that gives me full confidence this program will continue to thrive,” said Tommy Lloyd, senior vice president, Jackson-Lloyd.
Dowling Hales served as financial advisor to Jackson-Lloyd in connection with the transaction. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
