Plum Underwriting has appointed Paul Evans as senior underwriter with immediate effect. In April already two underwriters have joined Plum in response to increased activity.
Previously, Paul held the position of UK household underwriter at Brit Insurance where he began his career in 2007. Based in the City of London, he specialised in mid and high net worth products distributed via binding authority and e-trading arrangements.
Paul’s appointment is the latest step in Plum’s growth strategy and will help the company to maintain service to brokers and underwriting flexibility as the business grows. His main areas of responsibility will be senior technical underwriting with an emphasis on linking the day-to-day case underwriting with the overall underwriting strategy set by the business.
Plum managing director, David Whitaker said: “We are extremely pleased to announce an important addition to our underwriting team. Paul is a very capable practitioner who will be an asset in upholding Plum’s core values of service excellence to our brokers in our specialist non-standard household niche. Our experience shows there is an ever growing appetite from brokers for underwriting flexibility, to accommodate those risks that do not fit the ever narrowing acceptance criteria of the mainstream markets and Paul’s experience makes him ideally suited to helping us to satisfy that demand.”
