RSA Insurance has bolstered its UK specialty lines division with the appointment of two new underwriters, enhancing its capabilities in property and power, engineering, and renewable energy underwriting.

John Lawrence and Henry Henderson are set to join the company, bringing expertise to RSA’s operations within Intact’s Global Specialty Lines.

Henderson and Lawrence are scheduled to commence their roles in February and March, respectively, operating out of London.

Lawrence, with a background in property underwriting, will assume the position of senior specialist underwriter – property, from March 18. His career has spanned various leading insurers, including AXA, AIG, and an earlier period at RSA, before his most recent role at Allianz since 2018.

Henderson is set to contribute to RSA’s power and renewable energy portfolio as a specialist underwriter. His career includes significant stints at Brit and HDI Global Specialty, culminating in a recent role at Liberty Specialty Markets in the power and renewable energy team since January 2022. Henderson will start his new assignment on February 19.

“John and Henry bring a wealth of expertise and experience to RSA and their valuable addition to our team will not only enhance our service offering to our broking partners, but they will also augment the culture of deep expertise that we have within our specialty lines business. I’m delighted to welcome them both to the team,” RSA Insurance UK specialty managing director Steve Watson said.

In other recent developments, RSA has announced the launch of the RSA Business Support Hub, an exclusive online resource platform tailored for businesses in the UK.
