Brit Insurance has appointed Richard Gaunt as a contingency underwriter.
Gaunt joins Brit after a decade at Markel International, where he was in the same role.
In his time there, he established himself as a leading underwriter in weather photoshoot and statistical prize indemnity and developed an account worth $7.5m in premium income. He also wrote Markel's open market sports personal accident account.
Mike Sibthorpe, Brit Insurance's London market underwriting director, said: “Richard has a wealth of experience in the contingency market and we are pleased to welcome him to Brit Insurance."
