Julia Churchill joins to look after broker relations in the southern region

Appointment

Markel UK has hired former Chartis underwriter Julia Churchill as its new broker development manager for the southern region.

This is the second new appointment this week for Markel UK, the retail division of Lloyd’s and London market (re)insurer Markel International.

On Monday the division announced the appointment of former Chubb underwriter Simon Webster as technical specialty liability underwriter.

Churchill spent 10 years at Chartis, holding the positions of regional senior development underwriter, regional schemes manager, regional underwriting manager and senior professional indemnity development underwriter.

Before that, Churchill spent 20 years working in a variety of roles at insurers and brokers, including JLT and RSA.

Markel UK regional manager for the southern region Melissa Kalsi said: “Julia brings with her many years of experience in broker development and she will be working closely with myself and other members of the team to ensure we maximise the
distribution opportunities the south offers across our entire product range, including professional and management risks, social welfare, art & collectibles and specialty liability.

“We are delighted to have such a high-calibre individual onboard and I am sure Julia will be a valuable addition to our team. She has strong broker connectivity in this region and a proven track record in securing distribution.”
