New Policy Underwriter for Thomas Miller P&I
Christopher Brown will lead underwriting policy for
the UK Club with effect from 20th February 2009 in the new role of Director of
Underwriting.
Christopher Brown, previously Claims Director in
London, will be taking over from Hugo Wynn-Williams who has led underwriting
policy as chief executive of Thomas Miller P&I Ltd. He is central to the
claims analysis process that supports the Club's claims reserving activity. As
part of this planned change in responsibilities, Mr Brown and Mr Wynn-Williams
had worked closely together throughout the 2009 renewal to ensure a smooth
handover of responsibilities.
Hugo Wynn-Williams will maintain his responsibility
for reinsurance and continue to represent the Club on the Group Reinsurance
Sub-Committee in addition to continuing his other roles within the position of
Chief Executive Officer of Thomas Miller P&I.
Commenting on his new role, Mr Brown said:
"The Club's underwriting strategy is focused
on one simple but essential objective - ensuring the correct premium for the
risk.
Balanced underwriting, and the preservation
of capital it supports, maintains confidence in the P&I system as a whole
and facilitates the strong focused support our members expect in the year
ahead."
An economist who also practiced law in his native
United States, Christopher Brown, 47, has extensive experience of P&I
management. He spent 12 years with the Gard P&I Club, rising to head of
claims. After joining Thomas Miller in 2002, Mr Brown was appointed Thomas
Miller's Asia Pacific Regional Director based in Hong Kong and responsible for
providing services to all Miller's managed Clubs, particularly the UK P&I,
the TT, the UK Defence and ITIC.
