The Lloyd's Market Association (LMA) has appointed Bill Rendall as head of underwriting and claims.
Rendall will take up the newly-created role from 14 June 2004. The position was created to give underwriters a stronger and more effective role with the franchisor, said the LMA.
Rendall joined R J Kiln & Co in 1973 becoming active underwriter of Syndicates 510 and 557 in 1992.
He retired from Kiln in 2002 having also served as chairman of the Non-Marine Association from 1999 to 2000 and as a director of the former Lloyd's Business Development Unit.
