Glemham Underwriting and Davies have both made senior appointments to reinforce their underwriting and captive management operations.
Glemham adds professional indemnity expertise
Glemham Underwriting has appointed Kirsty Blois (pictured) as lead professional indemnity underwriter.
Blois brings more than 28 years of experience across broking and underwriting, including senior roles at Arch and Hiscox. She will focus on professional indemnity for complex and unusual service industry risks, bolstering Glemham’s established PI proposition.
Since its founding in 2006, Glemham has specialised in professional indemnity while also offering solutions across farm, environmental impairment, commercial combined, and property insurance. The MGA continues to operate with a hands-on underwriting model that gives brokers direct access to decision-makers.
Blois commented that she looks forward to supporting and growing Glemham’s professional indemnity book. Senior underwriter Tim Jones said her experience in both broking and underwriting will be invaluable as the MGA expands its PI offerings.
Davies strengthens global captive management
Davies has appointed Reshma Jose as vice president and finance lead of its captive management business, based in Guernsey.
Jose, a chartered accountant with over a decade of experience, joins from Aon Insurance Managers and has previously held roles at EY and Deloitte. She will lead financial strategy, regulatory compliance, and investment oversight across Davies’ global captive management operations, which include hubs in Bermuda, the US, Canada, the UK, and Guernsey.
Christina Bell, head of Davies’ Guernsey office, said Jose’s appointment is pivotal for enhancing the finance expertise of the captive management team and supporting the firm’s global growth strategy. Jose highlighted her aim to strengthen financial capabilities and drive business development across Davies’ international captive portfolio.
These appointments underscore the ongoing emphasis on specialist knowledge and operational excellence within professional indemnity and captive insurance markets. They reflect the broader trend in the industry of recruiting experienced leaders to navigate complex underwriting, regulatory and financial challenges.
