Liberty Syndicates has appointed a three person specialist reinsurance team from Gerling Global Reinsurance Company to Syndicate 282.

The team, which consists of Dieter Winkel, Gaby Weiler and Bernd Burelbach, will join Liberty on 1 December and initially intends to write $30m of premium income.

Liberty managing director Sean Dalton said: "We have been looking for a quality reinsurance team for some time to complement and enhance the book already written by Andrew Elliott, active underwriter for syndicate 282. The situation at Gerling provided us with an extremely attractive opportunity."

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.

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.
Many congratulations to all the worthy winners and as always, huge thanks to our sponsors for their support and our judges for their expertise.
