Miller hires motorsports insurance industry veteran to help accelerate growth

Specialist re/insurance broker  Miller has hired a motorsports insurance industry veteran as it looks to expand its capabilities in the sports and entertainment sectors.

James Martin (pictured) will join Miller’s sports and entertainment team in April as account executive.

With over 30 years’ experience in the motorsports insurance industry, Martin joins Miller from James Hallam where he was divisional director of the sport team, responsible for London Market placement and insurer relationships.

He will work closely with Tim Nagle, who leads Miller’s motorsports offering.

Miller’s specialist skills include on track physical damage, liability and personal accident protection for team owners, sponsors and drivers. Miller believes his experience will complement its motorsport clients, who together have achieved over 800 F1 starts and more than 100 race wins.

James Hands, joint head of special risks, commented: “I am delighted that James has decided to join Miller and welcome him to the firm. His appointment is an illustration of the strategic investments we are making to establish Miller as the leading independent specialist (re)insurance broker in the world of Sports & Entertainment. His energy and experience will help accelerate Miller’s growth by serving the fast evolving needs of our clients.”

Nagle, account executive, said: “We have built a team of practitioners who are passionate about the sector, and I have no doubt that James will be a great addition. His appointment further empowers us to deliver smart, effective solutions to our clients and I am very much looking forward to having him on board.”
