Lee Teirney has joined the property team of Arch Insurance Australia in Sydney to serve as an underwriter.

Making the switch from Marsh where he was a national account executive within the affinity & schemes division, Teirney brings 15 years of industry experience to the post. His credentials include a broking stint at Insurance House Group, as well as seven and six years spent at Liberty International Underwriters and IAG, respectively.

“At Arch, we place great importance on building long-term relationships with our brokers,” said Arch Insurance Australia regional manager Dominic Brannigan.

“Lee’s experience and expertise span both the underwriting and broking sectors. He is an ideal addition to our team and will play a key role in helping us to further strengthen our relationships in the property sector.”

Teirney will report to property underwriting manager Mark Bailey and will be in charge of developing property and business interruption insurance solutions such as schemes, programmes, and facilities across a number of sectors and professions.
