Tokio Marine HCC expands professional indemnity operation in UK

Tokio Marine HCC has appointed Frances Eaton as a senior professional indemnity and director/officers underwriter, as part of the launch of its professional indemnity operation in Manchester, UK.

Eaton has 26 years of experience in the Manchester insurance market, having most recently served as branch manager and financial lines underwriter at WR Berkley Insurance (Europe), where she opened its Manchester office in 2008.

Prior to this, she served as financial lines underwriter at CNA Insurance.

Frances will be working with Adrian Farnell who joined Tokio Marine HCC as a liability underwriter in 2012, and will develop complementary products for the local market alongside underwriters from Tokio Marine Kiln.

Andrew Macpherson, Regional Underwriting Director, says “The appointment of Frances, who brings a wealth of technical experience with her, demonstrates Tokio Marine HCC’s continued investment in and commitment to its UK regional operation.”

Tony Browne, Managing Director of Professional Risks, said: “Tokio Marine HCC and Tokio Marine Kiln offer complementary products, so it makes good sense to work on how we can best pool our resources and provide a more complete offering to our brokers.

“With this in mind, I am delighted to confirm the appointment of Frances and that our professional risks unit in Manchester will be sharing offices with the Tokio Marine Kiln team. I look forward to successfully developing further our business in the North West with the local broking community.”
