Commercial claims specialist DCS Global is opening a Singapore office to serve the growing number of insurers using the country as an Asian hub.

Sydney-based Divisional Director Asia-Pacific Chay Wilkinson will relocate next month to run the office, which will serve clients across Asia.

“Singapore has a significant and growing insurance presence as a hub for the region, with representation both by Lloyd’s syndicates and by international insurers,” he told insuranceNEWS.com.au.

There are opportunities for claims expertise in financial lines, Mr Wilkinson says. He will take day-to-day control of DCS’ Hong Kong operation and expansion in Asia.

Mr Wilkinson’s position in Sydney will be filled by Mat Holland. 

DCS has opened offices in Dublin, Ireland and Manchester and Bristol in the UK in the past year.
