ARCH UK REGIONAL NAMES HEADS OF PROPERTY, CASUALTY, SPECIALTY & DIGITAL
Regional Portfolio Underwriting Managers for North and South also Appointed
London, 30 January 2023 — Arch Insurance’s UK Regional Division today announced the creation of four new leadership positions across Property, Casualty, Specialty and Digital Underwriting, with immediate effect.
Amanda Keer has been appointed Head of Property, Carl Jago appointed Head of Casualty, Tim Cornwell appointed Head of Specialty and Mark Ellinor appointed Head of Digital Underwriting. All four appointments are internal promotions, and each will report to Stuart Danskin, Director of Underwriting at Arch Insurance’s UK Regional Division.
The new heads of division have a wealth of UK insurance experience in their respective sectors. Most recently, Keer was Regional Portfolio Underwriting Manager, Jago was Underwriting Manager — Casualty and Ellinor was National Portfolio Underwriting Manager — Online. Cornwell was previously Branch Manager — Maidstone, and he will keep his responsibilities in that position while taking on his new role.
Commenting on the announcement, Danskin said: “We have achieved considerable growth in recent years and are now of a size and scale that warrants a transition in our underwriting structure to support our future ambitions. Amanda, Carl, Mark and Tim are market leaders in their fields. In their new sector-focused roles, they will lead the continued growth of our business as we expand our relevance to brokers and their clients.”
In addition, the company has announced the expansion of the regional scope of its underwriting managers. Randal Jones is now Regional Portfolio Underwriting Manager for the South, and Phil Clifford becomes Regional Portfolio Manager for the North.
“Having empowered underwriters across our country-wide network of offices is a key differentiator for our UK Regional Division,” Danskin said. “In these expanded roles, Randal and Phil will be responsible for ensuring that we continue to provide this local autonomy to enable us to deliver the responsive service our brokers depend upon.”
