HDI strengthens engineering, construction and energy division with hires

HDI Global, the industrial lines insurer, has strengthened its recently formed engineering, construction and energy division with the appointments of two senior underwriters - Sabine Knaus and Richard Beeby.

Prior to joining HDI, Knaus worked for Munich Re for 20 years, in Munich, most recently working as a senior underwriter for property and engineering, with a focus on Nordic Countries and Central and Eastern Europe.

Beeby, who has worked in the market for 16 years, previously worked for Allianz Global Corporate Specialty as an engineering underwriter. Before that he worked for RSA as a construction underwriter and The St Paul Travelers Companies as an assistant underwriter.

Richard Taylor, managing director of HDI in UK & Ireland said: “Construction and engineering are important strategic lines of business for HDI; therefore we are very pleased to have two such experienced and highly respected senior underwriters join our team.”

David Ball, underwriting director, added: “Sabine’s and Richard’s knowledge, experience and strong relationships in the market will greatly add to our proposition as a leading insurer for global engineering, construction and energy risks.

“Their hires will further strengthen the division to enable us to provide our clients and brokers with the highest levels of service, as well as market leading experience and capacity.”
