MS Amlin bolsters marine underwriting with RSA hire

Lloyd’s global specialty re/insurer  MS Amlin Underwriting (MS AUL), has bolstered its marine expertise with the hiring of a senior leader from RSA Insurance Group.

Stuart Forsyth joins MS AUL as lead class underwriter for hull. He will take up the role mid-October and report directly to Laurence Humberstone, head of marine.

Forsyth brings more than 30 years of experience across underwriting and broking within the marine re/insurance market. He joins from RSA where he served as London Market hull & liability leader. He began his career at Willis Faber & Dumas, becoming Divisional Director in 1996. In 1998, he moved to Sedgwick working within their Hull department specialising in Greek and North American Hull business. During his twelve years as a broker, he gained significant experience in both direct insurance and reinsurance, before serving as CEO of the Scottish Boatowners Mutual for sixteen years.

Humberstone said: “I am delighted to announce the appointment of Stuart as Lead Class Underwriter for Hull. His deep industry knowledge and proven market expertise, alongside his broking experience, will be an asset to the business as we continue to focus on strengthening our marine offering and providing best-in-class services to our insureds and distribution partners. Hiring someone of Stuart’s calibre underpins the importance of the class and our ability to attract leading talent. I look forward to welcoming him to MS AUL.”
