Chaucer boosts international general liability team with QBE hire

Specialty re/insurance group Chaucer has hired Ana Blanco as class underwriter to support development of its international general liability account.

Blanco joins Chaucer from QBE, and prior to that was a broker at Guy Carpenter.

In her new role, Blanco will work closely with Thomas Beasley and Rob Neil who joined Chaucer at the end of 2019.

Chaucer said that the appointment supports its commitment to building long-term and mutually beneficial business partnerships with brokers and MGAs in Lloyd’s and the company market.

Paul Restarick, casualty and political risks manager, at Chaucer said: “I am delighted to welcome Ana to Chaucer. Her appointment enhances our international general liability capabilities and highlights our continuing commitment to in-depth underwriting expertise and excellent client service to brokers and clients.”

Nicola Stacey, chief underwriting officer, added: “Our Casualty Division combines a smart solutions-driven underwriting approach with responsive service to meet the needs of brokers and MGAs, and the recruitment of Ana is an integral part of delivering this.”
