Internationally, Arjan Van de Wall will become global development director, with responsibility for giving brokers access to the team’s areas of expertise across all geographies and to drive global solutions for large multinational clients.

Commenting on the promotions, Ewa Rose, managing director of the division, said: “Since the launch of the business in 2010, we have expanded our geographic reach across the US, Canada, Singapore and Dubai in addition to the London presence and have added political risk and surety product lines to the trade credit operation.

"The new structure gives leadership responsibility to the separate business lines, while providing an overarching, multi-product business development role that can engage effectively with our brokers.”
