XL Catlin has announced the appointment of a new senior underwriter, casualty, for its Melbourne office.

David Mutton has been appointed to the role and joins the firm from Zurich where he was most recently underwriting manager, energy & construction, in its corporate casualty team.

With more than 15 years’ experience in the industry, Mutton has specialised in the corporate and commercial casualty space and has also held positons at Zurich Global Energy, ACE Insurance, AIG Europe (UK) and Jardine Lloyd Thompson Australia.

Mutton will report to Rory Morison, head of international casualty for XL Catlin’s insurance business in Asia Pacific.

“David’s hire is reflective of our continued investment in underwriting and claims talent to provide our Australian clients and brokers with differentiated solutions and excellent service,” Robin Johnson, country head of XL Catlin Insurance, Australia, said.

Morison welcomed Mutton to the firm and said that his “wealth of technical and commercial expertise” will strengthen the company’s casualty offering as demand for coverage continues to rise in Australia.
