Argo to underwrite film insurance

Lloyd's insurer Argo International has added entertainment to its underwriting business.

The new line, written within the accident and health division of Argo International, will include event cancellation, non-appearance, prize indemnity and film insurance.

It will be led by newly appointed Judith Isherwood, who joins Argo International from Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance Underwriting at Lloyd’s.

Argo International chief executive Julian Enoizi said: “This latest step in our growth strategy further highlights our commitment to building a market leading international offering and to driving this growth with a team of talented and determined underwriters.

"With her experience, excellent market credentials and solid management skills, Judith will be an asset to the successful establishment of Argo’s entertainment business and our wider growth programme.”
