Beazley appoints London broker relations head

Specialist insurer Beazley has appointed Will Roscoe to head broker relations activity in the London and European markets.

He will return to the UK to take up his new responsibilities at the end of summer 2015.

Roscoe joined Beazley’s London-based open market property team as an underwriter in 2011 before moving to his most recent role leading the excess and surplus lines property and high value homeowners teams in the southeast region of the US.

Prior to Beazley, Roscoe served as director of broking for the global markets international division of Willis. There, he led a team placing a diverse portfolio of large non-US international risks in the London market.

Dan Jones, director of market relations at Beazley, said: "Will’s wealth of knowledge and experience, gained as both an underwriter and broker, mean that he is ideally placed to understand the needs of brokers and, working closely with our underwriters, to ensure we continue to deliver responsive and innovative service."
