Anthony Hobkinson joins from CMS Cameron McKenna
Beazley has appointed Anthony Hobkinson to head its specialty lines claims team focusing on professional and management liability claims.
He succeeds David Marock, who was appointed chief operating officer of Beazley in October.
Hobkinson joins Beazley from CMS Cameron McKenna, where he focused on professional indemnity, aviation and aerospace, contingency, political risks, property, and product liability claims. He will start in his new position on 2 February 2009.
Adrian Cox, head of specialty lines at Beazley, said: "We have worked with Anthony as a trusted advisor for many years and are delighted that he will be joining Beazley to head the Specialty Lines claims team.
"We see each claim as a 'moment of truth' that can prove an insurer's worth or, if poorly handled, undermine the client relationship, perhaps fatally. With Anthony's help, I am confident that we will be able to build on our reputation as a provider of excellent claims service."
Anthony Hobkinson said: "Beazley's Specialty Lines division encounters some of the largest and most complex claims in insurance. To meet the high expectations of clients in these lines of business, the company has already assembled an exceptionally talented team.
"I am very excited to be joining an insurer that has led the insurance industry in raising the bar on claims service."
