Liberty Syndicates Management Limited (Liberty Syndicates), a member of Liberty Mutual Group, is entering the UK and Irish motor insurance markets through the hiring of a team of specialist motor underwriters.
Julian Cashen and Justin Suttle, who combined have over 40 years of market experience, are scheduled to take up their positions of Class Underwriter and Deputy Class Underwriter later this year together with a small team of motor specialists. Trading from Liberty Syndicates’ office in 3 Minster Court, the new motor team will underwrite coach fleets and small commercial fleets in the UK plus niche personal lines products.
Commenting on the appointments, Liberty Syndicates’ CEO Nick Metcalf, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Julian, Justin and the rest of the specialist motor team to Liberty Syndicates. With our strong emphasis on international property, contingent lines and marine, motor is an excellent addition to our underwriting footprint and spreads our risk accordingly.”
Liberty Syndicate’s Chief Underwriting Office Matthew Moore said: “The team are highly-skilled and experienced motor specialists. Their underwriting capability and philosophy is a strong match for that of the syndicate and I am convinced that the recent improvements in the UK and Irish motor trading environment make this an attractive market for us.”
