AXA has appointed Steve Browne as its new casualty insurance manager within its commercial underwriting unit.
Browne replaces David Williams who has been promoted to head of claims.
Browne said: "We have been working hard reviewing our liability portfolio and have just agreed a re-focused approach to our Construction account.
"One of my immediate aims is to ensure that our revised strategy is implemented as soon as possible. Another key element of our strategy going forward will be to work much more closely and gain greater synergy with our claims department."
