Hiscox promotes line underwriter for marine and energy liability

Hiscox has appointed Emily Taylor as a line underwriter for marine and energy liability.

Taylor joined Hiscox in March 2020 as an underwriter for marine and energy liability, having previously spent four years as a class underwriter for energy liability at AXA XL.

She reports to Mike Southgate, divisional director for marine, energy and specialty and is based in London, managing a team of four underwriters.

Southgate noted that Hiscox has a significant book of marine and energy liability business and vowed to continue to build on it, “offering our clients and brokers deep technical underwriting expertise in a rapidly evolving marketplace.”

Taylor promised to explore ways “in which we can take advantage of new technology to introduce operational efficiencies and service improvements.”
