Coates said: “Tom’s appointment is part of our continuing drive to further expand our presence in the property reinsurance sector. Having amassed significant broking experience in the North American property sector, bringing a broad spectrum of business into the London arena, he brings what we see as a new dimension to our reinsurance team and I am sure that his market perspective will help us not only enhance our position in those sectors in which we already have a strong standing, but also to enter new areas where opportunities for profitable growth exist.”
