HDI Global replaces director of liability for UK and Ireland

Industrial lines insurer  HDI Global SE – UK & Ireland has appointed a new director of its “significant and profitable” liability book following the departure of Owen Digman last month.

Ogden said: “I am delighted to appoint Colin into this role. Whilst it gives our Liability team stability, Colin’s leadership will bring a new and fresh perspective. There will be a continued emphasis on profitable growth which is underpinned by an up-to-the-minute data strategy. I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank Owen Digman for his dedication and hard work in growing our significant and profitable Liability book. I wish him all the best in the future.”

Lavey added: “Having enjoyed the past five years being part of a successful Liability team, I am now honoured to take on the role of Director of Liability for UK and Ireland. The team and I look forward to further growing our book through the continued excellent delivery of our tailored insurance propositions.”
