Nexus Underwriting Expands Trade Credit Operations into Italy

Nexus Underwriting (“Nexus”), a Brown & Brown group business, is delighted to announce the expansion of its Trade Credit operations into Italy. This strategic move further strengthens Nexus’s global footprint and reinforces its well-established presence across the UK and major international markets. 

Nexus has long excelled in offering Trade Credit solutions, underpinned by a robust team and sophisticated underwriting platform. The business is one of the longest-standing MGAs in Europe with 25 years of Trade Credit expertise and nearly 50 specialists across the continent, making it one of the most established players in the market. 

Roberto Calabretti, CEO & Country Manager for Nexus in Italy, is working closely with the Trade Credit team to drive this initiative forward, helping deliver not only Nexus’s traditional product offering but also innovative Trade Credit solutions that will empower our brokers and deliver tailored support to clients throughout the region. 

As part of Nexus’s commitment to investing in local expertise, Federica Paudice, will join the team in mid-October. Federica will take on the role of Broker & Partner Manager based in Milan. She brings a wealth of experience from her tenure at Aon Italy, offering strong technical expertise and an outstanding track record in client relationship management – particularly with Italy’s largest multinationals – as well as business development.  

Roberto Calabretti, CEO & Country Manager for Nexus in Italy, said: “Launching our Trade Credit operations in Italy represents an exciting landmark moment for Nexus. As the only Lloyd’s Coverholder for Trade Credit in the country, we reinforce the strength of our proposition across Financial Lines, Legal Protection and Cyber Insurance – within Lloyd’s second-largest European market. This marks an important step in Nexus’s wider European expansion, positioning us strongly against competitors as we continue to grow, with Trade Credit as our first new product line introduced in Italy and further classes to follow.” 

Samuel Fattahzadeh, Head of Europe – Nexus Trade Credit, added: “With 25 years of experience, nearly 50 dedicated Trade Credit specialists across Europe, and support for more than 1000 clients, we are one of the most established and trusted MGAs in the sector. Opening in Milan underlines our commitment to serving major European markets. Backed by our proven underwriting expertise, global reach, and deep technical capability, we are uniquely positioned to deliver tailored, client-centric solutions that support growth, manage risk, and underpin confidence in international trade.” 

Richard Marriage, CEO of Nexus UK, Europe and International, commented: “The expansion of our Trade Credit operations into Italy is another milestone in Nexus’s growth journey. We are delighted to welcome Federica to the business to bring our Italian vision to life. “
