Specialty re/insurer Brit has expanded its healthcare offering with the appointment of two executives.
Chris Brooking and Tom Kennedy join Brit’s professional lines division. Brooking previously served as underwriting manager of healthcare at Barbican, while Kennedy served as an underwriter in the healthcare division.
Stephen Moss, portfolio director, casualty direct, said: “The appointment of these highly experienced underwriters underlines our desire to broaden our global healthcare offering and completes an extensive product suite available through our direct casualty portfolio.
“The appointments enable us to offer additional risk transfer solutions to healthcare clients in a hugely scalable and rapidly evolving market, which will complement our existing ten year relationship with our non-US healthcare partner, The MPLC.
Janet Henderson, divisional director, professional lines, added: “Whilst market conditions remain challenging, Chris and Tom both bring an outstanding depth of expertise and underwriting acumen that will not only complement our very successful existing healthcare business, but will also allow Brit to expand its US healthcare offerings.”
