Arch Insurance bolsters marine team with Markel hire

Arch Insurance International, part of Bermuda-based re/insurer Arch Capital Group, has appointed Jason Page as senior underwriter, hull & war.

Page is a technical underwriter with over 30 years of insurance market experience, including over two decades in the marine insurance sector. Prior to joining Arch, he spent 25 years working at Markel and in 2017 was appointed head of hull & war at Markel Syndicate Management.

In his new role, Page will be responsible for underwriting activities across the hull & war insurance portfolio, focusing on opportunities to expand the company’s market standing and further enhance its product and service capabilities.

Based in London, he will be part of the marine hull, war & cargo division, led by Mark Watters, and will report to Jake Gibbs, head of marine & energy.

Gibbs said: “In recent years, Arch has achieved strong growth across our marine portfolio. Hull & War is a complex line of business that demands a technical, data-driven, underwriting approach. Jason brings vast sector experience and industry knowledge, and is a great addition to the team.”

Page added: “Arch has become a considerable force in the marine sector and I am delighted to be joining the company. I am looking forward to helping continue our growth momentum and further enhancing the service and solutions that we provide to our brokers and their clients.”
