Aqueous makes senior hire to build on new opportunities in PI market

Specialist MGA and Lloyd's coverholder  Aqueous Underwriting has hired a professional indemnity (PI) and financial lines specialist having recently secured higher PI capacity from five “A” rated backers.

William Hall joins Aqueous as senior development underwriter from professional indemnity and liability broker Brunel Professions.

Hall has over 35 years’ experience in the PI and financial lines sector, starting his career at Royal Sun Alliance before launching a start-up MGA ‘PI Protect’ which was later acquired by Barbican Insurance. Most recently, Hall worked as an associate director at Brunel.

Aqueous writes PI for a wide range of trades and professions. The appointment of Hall is aimed at building on new business opportunities in the regional market. Earlier this year, the MGA announced it had secured an increase in its PI capacity with cover available for limits up to £15m.

Aqueous’ head of PI Terry Shaw said: “I’m pleased to welcome William to the growing team at Aqueous. His track record and experience speak for themselves, he’s a strong addition to the team. With five “A” Rated capacity backers, increased limits available and a growing underwriting team, we provide a compelling offering to our brokers.”
