AEGIS London hires Canopius PI head

AEGIS London has appointed Jerry Hyne as a professional indemnity (PI) underwriter.

Hyne joins the Lloyd’s syndicate from Canopius, where he spent 15 years as the head of PI. He has over three decades of underwriting experience in PI, as well as commercial legal expenses, warranty and indemnity insurance, and legal title insurance.

AEGIS London recently reshuffled the leadership in its property unit with the promotion of Toby Sawyer. Both the appointments are in line with company's strategy to achieve "disciplined profitable growth in 2017".

Alex Powell, AEGIS London’s active underwriter, said: "Bringing someone of Jerry’s expertise and ability into Syndicate 1225 is a reflection of our growing status within the market.

"He brings with him a wealth of knowledge and a considerable reputation. I have no doubt he will succeed in bringing prudent, profitable business to AEGIS London as we look to build on our track record of recent years."

Hyne added: "I am pleased to be joining a syndicate with a reputation as impressive as AEGIS London. I hope my experience will add to this as we continue to build in 2017."
