AXA Commercial Lines and Personal Intermediary has appointed Adam Wickens as senior management liability underwriter.

Wickens joins AXA from Ace Europe where he held a senior role in the directors and officers team.

Based in London, he will be responsible for management liability underwriting for the London, Ipswich and Reading branches. 

AXA Commercial Lines and Personal Intermediary head of management Callum Taylor said: Adam’s appointment demonstrated AXA’s commitment to recruit candidates with proven experience to support its expansion plan.

“It’s clear to see that while some insurers are pulling back from the regions, AXA is investing in its regional offices – making underwriting expertise available to brokers on their doorstep,” Taylor said. “We’re really pleased to welcome Adam on board. He has an excellent reputation in the market and is trusted by brokers for his technical knowledge and approachable manner.”
