Oxford Insurance Brokers Limited now has a marine and energy unit.

Consistent with its growth ambitions, the Trireme Insurance Group subsidiary has snapped up colleagues from Chesterfield Insurance Brokers. The triple hire consists of head Mark Rowland and direct reports Ramsay Nicoll and Charles Reid.    

“We are delighted to welcome Mark and the team to Oxford,” said Trireme Insurance Group chair Randall Goss. “They bring with them a range of exciting new opportunities and we are looking forward to their continued success.

“Hiring this team will form the initial core of a new marine and energy division within Oxford.”

The recruits specialise in lines such as marine hull and liability, marine employers’ liability, protection and indemnity, yachts, and ports and terminals.

Trireme Insurance Group – which is committed to broadening its underwriting and broking operations in the UK, London, and international markets – is also the parent firm of James Hampden International Insurance Brokers and MGB Insurance Brokers Limited.
