Liberty International Underwriters Europe (LIU Europe), a division of Liberty Mutual Group, has extended its existing contract with red24. As leaders in global security assistance, red24 will, in addition to their product recall expertise, now also provide LIU Europe’s brokers and clients with their kidnap, ransom and extortion (KRE) services.
LIU Europe KRE policyholders will now have access to red24’s services led by Jack Cloonan, a retired FBI Special Agent who, as the Senior Case Agent on the New York Anti-Terrorism Task Force, has participated in multiple high profile investigations over the last decade.
“Kidnap is a much more violent crime today than it was even five years ago and the accompanying ransom demands have become extraordinary,” said Julie Ross, Crisis Management Underwriter for LIU Europe’s Crisis Management team. “The extension of red24’s contract to include kidnap and ransom, and extortion, as well as their existing product recall services, ensures LIU Europe will provide a seamless crisis management service to its brokers and clients.
“red24’s world-renowned specialist Jack Cloonan will work with LIU Europe’s KRE policyholders to put in place a strong kidnap and ransom strategy that helps them prevent and respond to these frightening situations.”
Working with red24, who have offices in London’s Minster Court, LIU Europe’s crisis management experts help brokers provide the specialised loss control and loss mitigation services necessary to protect clients’ employees, operations and reputation before, during and after a crisis.
