IGI appoints underwriter, ports and terminals from MS Amlin

International General Insurance Holdings (IGI), the international specialist commercial insurer and reinsurer, has appointed Vickie Fox as underwriter, ports and terminals, to strengthen the London Marine team.

In her role, Fox will support IGI’s existing marine offering in the UK as the book of business grows. She will also be instrumental in developing a new bespoke marine trade product for IGI that will tie in public liability, employees’ liability and property damage to IGI’s existing offering. She will report into Mark Trevitt, class underwriter, ports & terminals and marine liabilities, and will be based in London.

Fox has 17 years’ experience in the insurance industry both as a broker and underwriter, and has developed an expertise in marine risk. She joins IGI from MS Amlin, where she helped create and develop the insurer’s marine trade offering. Before then, she was a broker with AJ Gallagher, where she helped to maintain and develop its marine exposures.
“Vickie will be a strong asset to the team as we continue to grow our marine book of business and develop our product offering,” said Trevitt. “Vickie’s hire is another part of IGI’s continued evolution as an international insurer and a direct result of our disciplined attitude towards rating, reviewing and writing risk with a focus on bottom line growth. IGI’s marine offering and ports and terminals product has grown profitably over the last couple of years and we needed an experienced practitioner to evolve our marine proposition further.”

Fox added: “I was keen to join a nimble insurer with a dynamic approach to writing risk. IGI’s approach to underwriting has always impressed me – the company carefully selects its risks, classes and products, and continuously monitors its strategy to adapt to changing market conditions. I look forward to helping IGI’s outstanding marine team to develop its offering further.”
