AEGIS London has made two new appointments to its terrorism and aviation war account.
Ben Lockwood, formerly deputy class underwriter for terrorism at the Watkins Syndicate, will start in the newly-created role of terrorism underwriter, reporting to head of aviation, war and terrorism Kevin Mills.
Ben is joined by James McDonald, who takes the role of underwriting assistant, war and terror.
Having begun his career with the Watkins Syndicate in 2008 as terrorism underwriting assistant, Lockwood was promoted to assistant underwriter in 11 months and gained his full underwriting authority in August 2010.
David Croom-Johnson, active underwriter at AEGIS said: “The terrorism market is evolving and expanding, and as it does so, AEGIS London wants to be at the forefront of the market.”
Mills said: “Currently, the flow of terrorism and political violence business into the market is increasing. We believe that this environment presents us with an excellent opportunity to expand our book of business.”
