ATL makes key appointments

Heavy motor and passenger vehicle underwriter Australian Transport & Logistics Insurance has appointed three key executives to strengthen its market presence.

Michael Sherwood, who has held C-suite positions in underwriting, reinsurance and general management, has been appointed National Underwriting Manager.

Allan Smith becomes Head of Distribution after many years’ experience with heavy motor underwriter National Transport Insurance, particularly in expanding and creating distribution channels.

Peter Segalla, also experienced in heavy motor from the underwriting and broking perspective, becomes Manager, Northern Region.

CEO Steve Nichols says strong backing from Hollard Insurance and others has led the company to strengthen its management, and it is using tech platforms to better analyse portfolio data metrics.

“These specialist sectors require an in-depth level of understanding, experience and insights,” he said.
