Torus raids XL for construction underwriter

Torus has appointed Marina Moore as senior offshore construction underwriter.

Reporting to David Message, SVP global head of offshore energy, Moore will develop the team’s offshore construction business. She is based in Torus’ London office.

She joins from XL and brings over 30 years of London Market Offshore Construction experience to Torus, 25 of which were at Munich Re.

Message said: “Our expansion into this area seeks to provide increased flexibility for clients in a highly complex and technical area of the business.

"Marina is therefore a perfect fit for the team as her experience of offshore construction in both underwriting and broking capacities, as well as in Lloyd’s, means that she combines the broadest perspective on the sector’s issues with a specialist’s understanding of offshore construction.”
