Allianz appoints marine head

Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty (AGCS) has appointed Chris Turberville as head of marine hull and liability (UK).

Turberville will be based in the London office and will manage the AGCS’ UK hull and liability team and portfolio. He will report directly to AGCS’ regional head of marine Duncan Southcott.

Turberville has worked in the London market since 1986 where he started his career with Commercial Union. In 2002 he moved to Thomas Miller for five years as the underwriter and then operations director for Dex in London.

Before being recruited by AGCS he was employed by Groupama Transport in London as the deputy general manager and hull underwriter for the hull and yacht books.

Southcott said: “It’s very satisfying to welcome someone of Chris’s calibre to the team. He’s an energetic, highly motivated individual and I wish him every success in his new position. Chris has an excellent track record as evidenced by his 25-year career in the London marine market, as well as his degree in maritime studies.”
