Aqueous eyes expansion in 2022, boosts underwriting with triple hire

Specialist MGA and Lloyd’s coverholder  Aqueous Underwriting has made significant additions to its underwriting team with three new hires as it looks to grow its footprint within the UK market.

Senior underwriter Louise Redmond (pictured) and underwriter Debbie Farman join the MGA’s professional indemnity (PI) team, whilst trading underwriter Liam Wilson joins the e-trade team specialising in SME package business.

Redmond has over 20 years’ market experience and joins Aqueous from BC Underwriting where she was senior PI underwriter. Previously she has held underwriting roles at AXA, QBE Europe and AIG Europe.

Farman also joins the PI team at Aqueous, from Square Mile Underwriting.

Wilson joins the MGA’s e-trade team from Thistle Underwriting, and has previously worked at QBE Europe and Ageas.

Aqueous currently writes PI for a wide range of trades and professions whilst their SME package business covers material damage, business interruption, employers’ & public liability cover.

Aqueous’ chief executive officer Danny French said: “We have made a strong and positive start to 2022 both in terms of our financial and underwriting capability. All three of the underwriters we are bringing in are experienced exponents in their fields and I’m pleased to be able to add strength and depth to our underwriting teams.”

“ Aqueous is an ambitious and growing MGA. We made some big steps last year and it’s encouraging for me and the senior team that we’ve started 2022 in a similar fashion; We expect to add to the team again in the coming weeks.”
