Simon Low to head new division
Lloyd's insurer Canopius has appointed Simon Low an expert in political risk, aviation war and trade credit insurance.
Low joins Canopius from Ark Syndicate 4020 where he was responsible for the terrorism, war and political risk team.
He has 23 years’ underwriting experience and is a recognised Lloyd’s market leader in his field.
Low will lead a newly-created underwriting division, political risk and crisis management, to include his areas of expertise together with the existing crisis management business written by Canopius (comprising sabotage and terrorism, kidnap and ransom and product contamination). He will also oversee Canopius’s accident and health lines.
He will report to Mike Duffy, joint active underwriter of Syndicate 4444.
Duffy said: “Simon is a highly-regarded underwriter in the political risk and war market. His appointment supplements our existing underwriting expertise and enables us to offer a wider range of specialist products to our clients. It also supports our strategy of pursuing further profitable diversification of Syndicate 4444.”
