Hiscox poaches two XL Catlin execs for marine cargo sector
Specialist insurer Hiscox has appointed Richard Golder as marine cargo line underwriter, marking the insurer's re-entry into the marine cargo business.
Golder joins the firm from XL Catlin where he was senior class underwriter. Prior to this, Golder has served at Amlin, PB Coffey, and CHF Ford and Ors.
He will be supported by Jack Bryan who takes on the role of marine cargo underwriter.
Bryan also joins from XL Catlin where he was assistant underwriter. He also held the role of head of education for the Lloyd’s of London marine U35 committee.
"We have made no secret of our desire to formally re-enter the marine cargo business and have been prepared to wait to find the very best underwriting talent,” said Simon Williams, head of marine and energy.
“The appointment of an underwriter of the calibre of Richard Golder says a great deal about the ability of Hiscox to attract class leading underwriters, as well as our ambition to be a market leader in all aspects of marine business.
“Richard will be well supported in his new role by Jack Bryan as we continue to build our comprehensive marine offering for the benefit of both our brokers and clients."
Golder added: "Hiscox has deep roots in marine insurance and I'm excited by the opportunity we have to complement Hiscox's existing marine portfolio with a market leading cargo account."
