Mike MacColl to head up operation

Lloyd's insurer Talbot has appointed Mike MacColl as Marine & Energy Claims Manager.

Previously a director at Charles Taylor adjusting (CTC), MacColl will head up Talbot's existing marine and energy claims team under the leadership of Claims Director Gill Langford.

Langford said: “I am delighted to have Mike join our already well established and respected claims team. His 20 plus years of experience in the claims environment will be a welcome addition to the department."

Talbot Underwriter James Skinner added: "In a business like ours, there needs to be a strong link between the underwriting and claims teams.

"Mike's arrival will help reinforce these bonds within Talbot, to the benefit of our clients and our market presence.”
