Colin Rose named head of construction and engineering
Lloyd’s insurer Beazley has named Colin Rose as global head of construction and engineering, effective 1 January 2012.
He succeeds Hugh Phillips, who has led the team since 2008 and who plans to retire in 2012. Rose will relocate to London from the US to assume his new role.
Rose has been a senior underwriter at Beazley working with Phillips since both joined Beazley in 2004.
Rose previously held senior construction and engineering positions in the London market and Germany and moved to the US in 2009 to establish Beazley’s US builders risk platform.
In the Asia Pacific region, Beazley’s Singapore office will be recruiting an additional underwriter in the coming months to support the continued growth of the business, reporting to Byran Lee, senior underwriter and principal officer.
“I am confident that under Colin’s leadership the team will continue to provide brokers and clients with exemplary underwriting and claims service and our planned recruitment will enable us to further strengthen this line of business,” said Mark Bernacki, deputy head of Beazley’s property group, in a statement.
