Chubb has appointed Andrew Syddall as Australian Underwriting Manager, Accident and Health Brokerage Australia and New Zealand.

He was previously head of corporate accident and health at AIG Australia and has also worked as an underwriter at Chartis and AIG New Zealand.

He will help develop the accident and health team in Chubb’s National Underwriting Centre, which provides end-to-end underwriting for a range of policies.

Country President Australia and New Zealand John French says the appointment complements the recent addition of Ben Howell to Head of Accident and Health Australia and New Zealand.
