Our History
When our company was founded, it was not unusual to have to use 10 or more different insurance companies to underwrite large risks due to the lack of financial capacity.
Today, under the leadership of the Nelson family's third generation, the world of business insurance bears little resemblance to those "simpler" times. Now SilverStone Group can "lay off" hundreds of millions of dollars in exposure to markets around the world in a matter of hours.
However, regardless of scale, the basic principle of our work remains unchanged -- tailor a solution to meet the specific needs of each client -- whether conducting business across a kitchen table or a multinational corporate boardroom.
