Ed Winter joins from Canopius

Lloyd's insurer Markel International has appointed Ed Winter as a terrorism underwriter in its marine and energy division.

Paul Jenks, managing director of the marine and energy division, added: "I am pleased to welcome Ed to our growing team. His knowledge of the terrorism market adds an important niche line to our overall marine and energy business.”
