Blenheim expands its property treaty and D&F teams

Blenheim Syndicate 5886, managed by Asta, has made a series of appointments in its property treaty and direct and facultative (D&F) property teams.

Simon Dean will join Blenheim’s treaty team in November, followed by John Hamblin and Mark Wilson in February 2017.

Simon King and Nick Adams will be joining the D&F property team to underwrite a D&F account when they are contractually available to do so.

Adams will be joining in December and King will be joining in February 2017.

Peter Scales, group CEO of Blenheim, said: “We are very grateful for the support of such a diverse capital base ranging from traditional Lloyd’s members to Nephila, one of the foremost and most innovative presences in the ILS (insurance-linked securities) market.

“The range of our backing gives us the maximum flexibility to expand our business in the future. We can now start to build a business that creates a trading environment that empowers traditional underwriting skills using the most modern risk management and technology platforms.”
