Watkins has been underwriting space risks for 20 years and as a result has forged close relationships with many manufacturers and operators in this business. The Space account consists of risks relating to the launch, commissioning and in-orbit operation of communication and earth observation satellites for both commercial and military organisations.

Our underwriting team holds a passion and wide-ranging knowledge of the engineering aspects of spacecraft design and operation. This experience and dedication is essential for the successful underwriting of this extremely specialised business.
