Specialist underwriting agency DUAL Corporate Risks has appointed Neil Flatman to manage its international property business.
The appointment is in line with the company’s advance into international property following the launch of its P&C division in July 2010. Flatman will be focused on major industrial commercial risks and also affinity business. He will operate a single-point solution to clients’ capacity needs.
Commenting on the international property and affinity business classes, Flatman said: “The size of the opportunity for DUAL Corporate Risks is huge. The London property reinsurance market writes in excess of $6bn in gross written premium and the size of the affinity class opportunity is larger still.”
Flatman will report to executive chairman Russell Kilpatrick. Commenting on Flatman’s arrival, Kilpatrick said: “Neil is an experienced industry professional with broad-ranging skills and relationships developed both in the London market and in Europe. He has a proven track record within the industry and the timing of his arrival fits perfectly with DUAL Corporate Risks’ plans for growth by diversification.”
Neil Flatman joins DUAL Corporate Risks from Markel where he was divisional managing director for international property. Prior to that, he worked for QBE for approximately eight years culminating in a role as head of European and international property. He also had five-year stints at Cigna and AIG.
