Channel expands property D&F division

Channel Syndicate 2015 at Lloyd’s has made a series of appointments within the international and North American lines of its property direct and facultative (D&F) division, with Claudia Adkins named as its head.

Adkins has over 14 years of experience in the Lloyd’s market, having joined Channel shortly after its inception to develop the international property book.

Henry Sturge has been promoted to head of North American lines, and will be supported by Natalie Gibb, underwriter.

Within international lines, Lauren Pitts has been promoted to senior underwriter and Jack Pickard has been promoted to underwriter.

David Reed, chief executive officer at Channel, said: “We enjoy a strong reputation in both the US and International D&F markets as a favoured and reliable provider of coverage around the globe.

“These promotions follow the departure of David Leathem, one of the Syndicate’s founding partners and formerly head of property, and my thanks and best wishes go to David for leading our launch in this class.

“The depth of expertise within Channel is highlighted by these recent promotions and I am delighted that we are attracting and retaining such talented and experienced underwriters.”
