Peter Eastwood, President and CEO of BHSI, said the effort fits alongside an ongoing plan to grow globally.

Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Insurance disclosed in March that it was expanding into Europe. Plans call for BHSI to operate in Europe as part of its Berkshire Hathaway International Insurance Ltd. affiliate. Both are part of Berkshire Hathaway’s National Indemnity group of insurance companies.
Beyond Europe, BHSI has expanded in recent months into Australia and New Zealand, among other regions.
