His twenty years in broking marine business also includes a spell with Heath Lambert predecessor Lowndes Lambert.
McTomney said: “With all the talk about the Athens agreement at present there has never been a more interesting time to be a part of the marine market.
"The sector is moving towards a solution to these issues, which will in the long term make it easier and more straight forward for clients to get the cover they need."
