Atrium Underwriting has appointed John Spence as the aviation underwriter on Syndicate 609, with effect from 1 September.
Mr Spence will be underwriting a book of aviation hull and liabilities consisting of both general aviation and airline accounts and complementing the extensive hull war book already being underwritten by the syndicate.
The new business written by Mr Spence will be assumed on a consortium basis with Atrium's other Syndicate 570.
Mr Spence joins Atrium from Hardy Underwriting, where he worked for 21 years. Two of those years were as aviation underwriter.
Steve Cook, the group managing director of Atrium, said: "We are really pleased that John is joining the team. His experience and record of maintaining a profitable account throughout the insurance cycle is exactly what we look for in our underwriters."
