Specialty insurer Torus says it has formed a new division to centralize the delivery and development of its online ESCAPE broker portals.

The Torus eCommerce unit, led by Linc Trimble, will streamline the quote-to-bind-to-issue process for U.S. wholesalers serving America's small business marketplace through ESCAPE and enhance the company's underwriting support and service while strengthening product and feature development for users.

Torus says an increasing number of brokers are transacting business through the ESCAPE portals, which currently include ESCAPE Excess Casualty, ESCAPE Healthcare and ESCAPE Miscellaneous Professional Liability.

Trimble is supported by the original leader of ESCAPE for excess Liability, Kevin Mooney, as well as Brian Blessing, director of eCommerce business development; Kardiner Cadet, IT/Architecture; Dan Dijak, new product development; and Nina Lim, underwriting services team leader, among others.

“Torus' suite of ESCAPE products provide the specialty coverage wholesale brokers require for their SME customers and the fast and easy-to-use automation brokers need to more efficiently and profitably handle their business,” said Trimble, in a statement. “The ESCAPE system is revolutionizing the way small business insurance is transacted and the creation of a dedicated eCommerce team will allow us to further enhance and grow our online offerings for the select wholesalers we work with.”
