Beazley said: “I am delighted to welcome Charles to MS Amlin as Chief Underwriting Officer. Charles brings a wealth of experience and sector expertise to the business, alongside a strong track record of holding leadership positions within large, diverse, multi-jurisdictional businesses. His insight and experience of managing underwriting portfolios in our key markets will be critical for our next stage of growth. I am confident he will prove an invaluable addition to the MS Amlin leadership team.

“I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Chris, for his strong leadership over the past few months. We are grateful for his ongoing significant contribution and continued commitment as he supports Charles in assuming his new role.”
