Insurer captures aviation underwriters to build up division
Catlin has boosted its aviation underwriting team in London and Paris with the appointment of four industry specialists.
Alain Burguiere, who will join Catlin in September as aviation business group leader, will be responsible for Catlin’s aviation underwriting operations in London and Paris.
Burguiere joins Catlin from La Reunion Aerienne (LRA), the Paris-based aviation underwriting specialist where he had headed the underwriting team.
In addition, Catlin has snapped up three other underwriters to join Catlin’s aviation team.
Antoine Lamy, who also joins from LRA, will become Catlin’s aviation underwriting team in London as a class underwriter; former aviation underwriter with Beaufort Underwriting Agency Peter Buckley will join the London aviation underwriting team as a class underwriter; and David Hart will join Catlin as aviation wordings and technical support manager in London from Heath Lambert Group.
Paul Brand, Catlin’s chief underwriting officer, said: “The addition of Alain -- along with Anotine Lamy, Peter Buckley and David Hart -- demonstrates Catlin’s long-term commitment to the aviation insurance market in London and in Paris, where Catlin opened an office earlier this year.”
