XL Insurance, the global insurance operations of XL Capital Ltd, today announced the appointment of Colin Ivory and Andy Barr-Sim as senior underwriters for its UK Middle Market team.
The team is headed by Denis Burniston, who joined XL Insurance last December as Chief Underwriting Officer, UK Middle Market. XL says the new team will help XL Insurance to extend its offering, providing products and services for UK based and international middle market companies with an initial focus on Liability and Contractors All Risks (CAR).
Ivory has worked in the International Liability business, both as a broker and an underwriter, while Barr-Sim has worked as a specialist CAR/Liability underwriter. Both have over 30 years experience in the London Market.
Eileen McCusker, XL Insurance's Chief Operating Officer, UK & Ireland region, said: "We are delighted to have two experienced underwriters joining our team to further strengthen XL Insurance's UK Middle Market initiative. At XL Insurance we understand the importance of long-term client relationships and with our expanded team we will be able to serve more brokers and clients across the UK regions."
Burniston said: "We will be working closely with the national brokers outside of London, as well as those that use London wholesale brokers to access Lloyd's. Colin and Andy are well known experts in their field. They have a good understanding of the needs of larger middle market companies and their brokers."
