Skuld, a marine insurance provider, has appointed David Farr as underwriter - hull for its Lloyd’s syndicate, Skuld Syndicate 1897.
Farr has previously developed a very successful, long standing London Market hull account and will assist Mike Bennett, Deepa Nathvani and Laura Dent.
He is a recognised lead in many areas of the hull, most notably with ship owners based in the Mediterranean but also in the USA and Canada.
“David’s wealth of experience and contacts within the market will serve the syndicate well as it enters the next phase of its development,” said Bernt Hellman, active underwriter, syndicate 1897.
“Skuld 1897 is always looking to deliver ‘the best of both worlds’ – underwriting from a lead position at Lloyd’s in conjunction with a bespoke Scandinavian claims service that is responsive to Skuld Members’ needs.”
