Even before he received his bachelor’s degree, Gregor McAvity was already working as an assistant underwriter at Anderson McTague. Eventually, he was promoted to commercial underwriter; at present, his main responsibility within the company is maintaining a balancing act between underwriting SME businesses and forestry equipment, and working on business development and marketing while consulting directly with company president Chuck McTague.
McAvity is currently working toward his CIP designation, and is a member of both the Insurance Institute of Canada and the New Brunswick Association of Insurance Women. He recently spent three months in London, working directly with Lloyd’s syndicates and brokers, where he was able to learn the workings of the London market and of Lloyd’s underwriting.
