Chris Jones joins from D.A. Constable Syndicate 386
(Re)insurance underwriter Kiln has launched a new liability function to underwrite and support general liability risks.
The new product line, which will be led by Chris Jones, will initially focus on writing primary and excess business in the open market, as well as supporting and developing Kiln's market-leading position in the binding authority field.
It will operate with a US$25m line size and will write across all business sectors, for risks domiciled in all territories worldwide excluding the USA.
Jones will work within the Property and Special Lines (PSL) division of Kiln Syndicate 510 at Lloyd’s, which is led by Robin Hargreaves.
Hargreaves said: “Placing the Liability function within the PSL team maximises our opportunities to tailor a full product offering to meet our clients' business needs.
“This is a real step-change for Kiln as we take our significant expertise in the short-tail market into this exciting new field. Chris’ vast experience in this area will be a significant asset for us as we grow.”
Jones joins Kiln from D.A. Constable Syndicate 386, which is now part of QBE.
