Three join from Lloyd's managing agency

Beazley has expanded its marine underwriting capabilities to offer professional liability and logistics coverage.

A new team, headed by Zareena Hussain, will lead the company's drive into this section of the market.

Hussain joins Beazley from a Lloyd's managing agency underwriting on behalf of Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance. She will be joined by Vincent Egon, underwriter, and Sharon Duffy, assistant underwriter, also from the same managing agency.

Clive Washbourn, head of Beazley's Marine division, said: "The arrival of the new team will enable us to offer a much broader and deeper service in the liability market. Zareena and her colleagues have extensive experience in professional liability cover for ship managers, ship agents and marine surveyors, as well as cover for the operators of ports and logistics companies."

Hussain added: "Beazley is one of the most respected marine underwriting businesses in the market, offering an excellent platform for us to develop our book of business further. I am confident our skills and experience will prove complementary to those of the existing marine team."
