Markel Appoints James to North American Property Treaty Reinsurance Team

Specialist insurer Markel International has appointed Nick James to its specialty division as a class underwriter in US and Canada property treaty reinsurance. He will work alongside Robin Ungless and Nick Hillman in London.

James has over 14 years’ experience handling international property in the insurance and reinsurance industry. He started his career in 1997 at Guy Carpenter and joined Aon’s international property team in 2003. In 2008 he moved to Ace Tempest as an underwriter.

He is also the Chairman of the International Underwriting Association of London’s Property Treaty Group.

Ungless, joint managing director of Markel International’s specialty division, noted that James will “make a welcome addition to the specialty team here at Markel. Following the restructuring of Markel International’s property business along sector lines last year, Nick will play a key role in boosting Markel’s reputation in the US and Canada property market.”
