Markel International has boosted its speciality division with the promotion of Nick Hillman and Nick James to senior underwriters on the property treaty account.
Hillman joined Markel on the graduate scheme in 2004 and began working in the specialty division the following year as a trainee underwriter on the international property treaty account. He has since spent time on both US and London market accounts before returning to the international portfolio.
James joined Markel in 2011 as an underwriter on the US property treaty account after spending three years at Ace Tempest where he was part of the property treaty team writing risk, catastrophe and proportional business. He has also spent time at Aon, working on international property and looking after Israeli, Greek and Scandinavian clients. He later joined the property retro team.
“We’re delighted to announce the promotions of Nick Hillman and Nick James to senior underwriters within the division, reflecting the strength of the company in developing the skills and capabilities of its staff.” Said Robin Ungless, joint managing director of Markel’s Specialty division.
