’His experience on the carrier side, combined with his wholesale broking knowledge, make him an ideal choice,’ says top boss

Amwins has appointed Nick Abraham as the new chief executive at its London-based insurance distribution unit.

Abraham joined the business in 2021 and has been part of the broker division leadership team, with him serving in the role of executive vice president.

Before this, he held multiple leadership positions with Markel over 17 years, such as director of wholesale marketing and regional president.

He will begin his new role on 1 January 2025.

Scott Purviance, Amwins group chief executive, said: “For the past three years, Abraham has made a substantial impact across the brokerage division and truly embodies the Amwins servant leadership culture.

“His experience on the carrier side, combined with his wholesale broking knowledge, make him an ideal choice to lead the continued expansion of our London operation.”

Experience

Abraham will succeed Nathan Mathis, who has based in London for the last six years.

He will now rejoin the US-based leadership team in Charlotte.

Purviance said: “Under Mathis’ leadership, Amwins has firmly established itself as the leading independent Lloyd’s broker, representing more than $3bn in placed premium. We look forward to welcoming him back to Charlotte.”
