AFL sets up marine division under former Ed head broker
Independent Lloyd’s broker AFL Insurance Brokers has launched a commercial marine division to be headed by Alex Mott, senior executive who previously managed the Ed/CGNB marine broking team as head broker.
“The launch of a commercial Marine division is a logical step for AFL as we continue to grow the business into a full service intermediary,” said AFL chairman Toby Esser. “We are responding to increased demand from clients for a modern, proactive approach to processing and placing Marine business, and are delighted that a skilled insurance professional of Alex’s calibre is coming on board.”
The new director of marine Mott is a senior marine insurance professional with 16 years of international experience. His career as a Lloyd’s broker and broking team manager has seen him specialise in multiple marine risks, including hull and machinery, disbursements, war risks and P&I.
Mott commented: “Building AFL into a full service independent broker is a compelling proposition, and I am looking forward to leading the Marine division at this exciting time. The company culture of innovation, and its customer-first approach to developing new products is challenging the market to do things more efficiently and effectively – which is exactly what clients are looking for.”
AFL CEO Bob Finch added: “Marine insurance is at the historic heart of the London Market, but London’s long-standing roots as a Marine hub cannot be taken for granted. We are committed to developing and adopting the latest technology and modernisation initiatives to deliver efficiencies in processing and placing marine business, and maintain London’s position as a global leader in marine insurance.”
