A market leader in recreational boat insurance has announced a new appointment to its New Zealand business.

Club Marine has appointed Ken Monk as business development manager (BDM) New Zealand.

Based in the firm’s Auckland office, Monk has joined a “small but very effective Kiwi team” of underwriters to assist brokers, dealers, and associates with their specific insurance needs.

Before joining Club Marine, Monk had experience working in various leading New Zealand insurance and finance businesses, most recently at QBE Insurance where he managed the marine division.

Club Marine NZ manager Nick Meister said Monk brings to the team a “wealth of knowledge in claims, sales, and underwriting.”

“His knowledge and understanding of the broker and marine markets is a great benefit to Club Marine – as is his passion for sailing,” he said.

Monk has participated in amateur and professional sailing competitions over the years, including the NZ Marine Industry Sailing Challenge, and is involved in the Club Marine Winter Series held out of the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron.
