Miller lures Tysers team for major delegated authority expansion

Specialist re/insurance broker  Miller has expanded its delegated authority business with a slew of new hires from Tysers to form a dedicated Canadian unit.

The new team will be formed by Steve Maslen, Matt Dear, Mike Biddle, Saif Sulaiman and Nick Wilson, who each join from Tysers with "significant experience" in the Canadian property & casualty market.

The team will sit within Miller’s wider delegated authority business, under the leadership of Maslen and Dear, and report into  Chris Hardcastle, head of delegated authority.

Both Maslen and Dear have long standing experience of operating in the London Market including a specific focus on Canadian business.

The move reflects Miller’s continued investment in broadening its product offering and jurisdictional capabilities in the delegated authority space.

Hardcastle said: “We are delighted to welcome the team to Miller. These appointments bring significant expertise, experience and relationships that will further enhance our exceptional Delegated Authority capabilities and are a great complement to our existing operations.”

Maslen commented: “Miller has a great reputation in the market and this is an exciting opportunity to continue building out their fast growing proposition in the Delegated Authority space. We are hugely excited to be joining and look forward to the many opportunities that lie ahead.”

Dear added: “The excellent culture and support network at Miller was a huge draw for the team. Their commitment to meeting the ever-changing needs of clients creates a great environment to look at business in a new and innovative way. I very much look forward to working with Chris and the rest of the Delegated Authority team to continue enhancing Miller’s capabilities in this space.”
