William Beveridge is the new chief underwriting officer of the UK P&I Club and will join his new team upon completion of his existing work responsibilities.
Beveridge will be responsible for overseeing all of the Club’s underwriting policies and operations.
This is an exciting period, according to the P&I insurance provider, as the Club continues to consider further diversification following the recent partnership agreement with Thomas Miller Specialty.
William joins from Newline Underwriting, the international insurance division of the Odyssey Group, where he is currently CUO, and has previously worked for Advent Insurance and Arch Insurance.
He has previously served on the Joint Hull Committee and the IUMI Ocean Hull Committee and is currently on the Lloyd’s Register Classification Committee.
William replaces Christopher Brown, who is moving to the Club’s Rotterdam office, while Brown replaces Hugo Wynn-Williams, who will step down as UKNV CEO this summer.
Hugo will continue to advise Thomas Miller and his clients, including P&I, as president of Thomas Miller Bermuda.
UKNV is the company through which the Group writes all European risk and which provides a pioneering solution for a number of other clubs managed by Thomas Miller in Europe.
Andrew Taylor, chief executive officer of UK P&I Club, said that “William’s considerable experience of the marine and wider insurance market will be a huge asset to the Club as we pursue our diversification and growth strategy, while maintaining our excellence in disciplined underwriting and quality risk selection. With the wealth of experience William brings, it is very exciting to be able to warmly welcome him to the UK Club.”
