Divisional directors Chloë Cox and Alex Atkinson have joined Ed’s London-based professional & executive risk team.

Bringing a combined 19 years of industry experience to the Lloyd’s broker, the duo will primarily be in charge of developing and expanding the North American and Australian/New Zealand wholesale book.

Atkinson is a Willis Towers Watson alumnus who previously served as an Alesco director, while Cox is a management liability expert from Marsh JLT Specialty. They will report to James Baird, who said growing Ed’s professional & executive risk book is part of a long-term strategy.

“In nearly three years of expanding our wholesale offering,” noted Baird, “our team has forged some very good relationships with broking partners, and Chloe and Alex will play an integral part in helping us to continue to develop these relationships.

“The combination of their wholesale broking background, our strong service delivery approach, and our existing highly experienced team will ensure that clients can continue to rely on us to help them navigate these more challenging trading conditions.”
