Former Swiss Re marine underwriter joins insurers' Syndicate 2001
Lloyd’s insurer Amlin has appointed Tom Brand as leading class underwriter to head the cargo team for its highly regarded Syndicate 2001.
He will report to Simon Beale, divisional underwriter of the Marine division.
Brand joins from Swiss Re’s marine underwriting team, where he focused on specialist and capacity driven cargo risks, including US stock-throughput, oil and project cargo risks.
Prior to joining Swiss Re, Brand’s twenty-one year career in marine insurance included eighteen years underwriting and managing cargo accounts for Hiscox, CGU and Berkshire Hathaway.
Simon Beale said: “We are delighted that Tom Brand is joining us to lead our cargo account during the next phase of its development.
"Tom, together with the current team, will be able to support the existing portfolio as well as broaden our customer offering and thus the diversity and balance of the business.”
