Skuld lures Aon exec to head Singapore

Marine insurer Skuld has appointed Nicholas March to head up its Singapore office.

March joins from Aon where he served as head of marine in Singapore. He replaces Kjell-Åke Augustsson who will lead Skuld’s Greece office.

He began his career as a risk analyst and moved into insurance in 2003 as a marine broker in the Middle East with Heath Lambert. He joined Aon Middle East as client director in 2007 and moved to the Singapore office in 2012.

Ståle Hansen, Skuld president and chief executive officer, said: “Singapore and the region it serves have long been a focus for Skuld’s growth, and that remains unchanged. Our involvement with the Asian marine market and its brokers continues to grow and we have no doubt that under Nick our existing relationships will be in good hands and new ones will be forthcoming very quickly.

“As a seasoned broker in the region Nick recognises the need for first-class service, which lies at the heart of everything Skuld does, and we look forward to his arrival in the office.”
