Dual to expand with new hire

Dual Corporate Risks has appointed Liz Hanlon to its Dual Focus team.

Dual Focus provides specialist insurance solutions for more complex financial institution based risks.

The company said Hanlon’s arrival would bring additional expertise to the existing suite of Dual Focus products as well as adding a new range including Bankers Blanket Bond and Computer Crime.

Hanlon joins from Argo-Heritage where she developed a diverse, mid-market financial institutions portfolio.

Tim Bilborough, an existing member of the Dual Corporate Risks underwriting team will be working with Hanlon as part of the Dual Focus Team. Beth Whybrow also joins them from Argo-Heritage as assistant underwriter.

Russell Kilpatrick, executive chairman of Dual Corporate Risks, said: “Since its launch in April, Dual Focus has gone from strength to strength with demand well exceeding expectations.

"Liz’s appointment will now secure the next phase of our development strategy for this account. She brings with her an enormous amount of experience and is very well regarded in the industry. The bolstering of the Dual Focus team will allow us to optimise these products and enable us to enhance the service we provide to our clients.”
