ANV strengthens property underwriting team

ANV Holdings BV, the Dutch headquartered specialty insurer, has appointed Mark Abrahams to lead its property underwriting team for ANV Syndicate 1861.

With more than 15 years of experience in the London Market for property lines, Abrahams comes to ANV after holding senior underwriting roles at Catlin, QBE and most recently Alterra Syndicate 1400. In his role at ANV, he will be responsible for leading the current team and for continuing the growth and diversity of the ANV property lines within Lloyd’s.

“Property remains one of the cornerstones of both the London Market as well as our work at ANV Syndicate,” said Matthew Fairfield, founder and chief executive officer of ANV. “Though it is a long established line of coverage, we are always working to provide new approaches and differing perspectives to better address the needs of the market from our team.”

Gerard van Loon, chief underwriting officer of ANV Group said: “Mark brings both wide experience as well as a specific focus on the nuances of the property market for both ANV Syndicate and within the London Market overall. His skills and experience complement the team in place very well and we expect continued growth and exceptional service across the business under his leadership for years to come.”
