Lion Underwriting has appointed Adam Thackeray to take up the newly created role of Senior Property Underwriter.

He will work alongside Matt King, who has been promoted to Senior Property Underwriter, three years after joining the business.

David Hoffman has also joined the agency, taking up the Head of Marine position.

“Lion is well-placed in the market,” MD Kurt Nilsen said. “We have a great broker following which has driven our growth and led the requirement of expanding our team.

“We are currently interviewing candidates to fill a couple more roles, to make sure we have the resources to meet the service level brokers expect of us and to manage our ongoing growth.”
