Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Insurance (BHSI) Marine Manager Mark Dixon has moved to Melbourne after spending two years in New Zealand building the company’s marine business.

“[His] role will see him further developing BHSI’s presence within the Australian market, with a focus on marine cargo and stock throughput,” Head of Marine Dimitry Zilberud said.

Mr Dixon will work closely with Barton Phillips on the transport and logistics segment.

Meanwhile, BHSI has hired Anthony Prindiville as Manager Casualty WA and Mark Shepard as Senior Property Underwriter, as operations begin in WA.

Mr Prindiville joins from Chubb and will start next month. Mr Shepard, who joined BHSI at the end of last month, was also previously with Chubb.
