Tokio Marine Kiln expands special risks division with Barbican hire

Specialist and corporate insurer Tokio Marine Kiln (TMK) has appointed Charlotte Pritchard as an underwriter within its special risks team.

Pritchard has worked in the London market for 13 years. Most recently, she was an underwriter at Barbican Insurance Group, where she had worked since 2017 specialising in malicious acts including terrorism and political violence. Prior to this, she was at Canopius for 11 years where she focused on a broad range of special risks including political risk, trade credit, terrorism and political violence.

In her new role, Pritchard will focus on all aspects of special risks, including political violence and accelerating the growth of TMK’s terrorism book. She will report to TMK’s divisional head of special risks Edward Parker.

Parker said: “TMK has been writing special risks for more than three decades and we are committed to developing our presence in this field. Charlotte brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the team within a specialism that is of growing importance to our clients, which will enable us to continue to deliver the highest standard of underwriting.”
