Insurer Chubb has appointed Tressie Norton as senior underwriter, transactional risk, for the UK and Ireland in a bid to expand its insurance capabilities in this area.
This follows the recent appointment of Richard Britain as head of transactional risk insurance for Chubb's overseas general insurance division.
Based in London, Norton will contribute to the development and growth of Chubb's transactional risk product portfolio in the UK and Ireland.
She will report to Grant Cairns, UK and Ireland financial lines manager for Chubb with a matrix reporting line to Richard Britain, head of transactional risk insurance for Chubb's overseas general insurance division.
Norton previously held the position of senior financial lines underwriter for Chubb since 2012.
Britain said: "Tressie's extensive market knowledge and underwriting experience will be instrumental in the success of our transactional risk product roll-out in the UK market and will ensure that we anticipate and cover our clients' needs in this increasingly important area of risk. I welcome her to our team and I am looking forward to working with her."
