The Essex Special Property Division (ESP) was established in 1993 to entertain larger, tougher commercial property accounts on a brokerage basis. This division focuses its efforts on single or multi-locational accounts with diversity in construction and protection on a primary, buffer, or excess layer basis. With in-house treaty capacity of $5 million ($10 million with Facultative), ESP can serve as the lead underwriter on a smaller account, or they can participate on large, layered accounts.

The ESP underwriters try not to decline accounts that meet their minimum requirements but offer alternative viable solutions to producers. Their philosophy is to be flexible and show a willingness to work with producers to develop solutions not readily available in the everyday property marketplace.

The Essex Special Property division has established a solid reputation in the large property marketplace. Their in-house technical expertise along with their flexibility and creativity in designing insurance programs has brought them quick success.

Essex Special Property (Richmond) is led by Gary Micetich, Vice President, who joined Essex in 1998. The Region is divided into four underwriting territories. Territories are based on a geographic split and broker location.
