Three new positions created in insurer's strategic business unit
Brit Insurance has announced appointments for a number of newly-created positions within its global markets strategic business unit.
Tom Rowley, currently North American property class underwriter, becomes the divisional director of property, space and terrorism. Christiern Dart, currently financial property class underwriter, becomes the divisional director of property facilities.
In addition, the accident and health division will be led by Andy Bowers, who takes up the role of divisional director. His portfolio will include personal accident and medical expenses, contingency, and bloodstock classes of business. Andy is currently personal accident underwriter.
All three will continue to report to short-tail portfolio director John King.
Matthew Wilson, chief executive officer of Brit Insurance’s global markets unit, said: “Tom, Christiern and Andy have all proved to be outstanding underwriters and leaders during their time at Brit Insurance. Widening our current divisional director business model will enhance our strategic delivery.”
“As ever, we are pleased to be able to appoint such high-calibre candidates by promoting from within. This reflects the quality of our Global Markets team,” Wilson added.
In August, Brit Insurance promoted Ray Cox to chief executive officer of its UK strategic business unit. Cox replaced former CEO Peter Burrows, who announced his retirement in late 2009.
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
