LONDON, Oct. 10,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Markel, the insurance
operations within Markel Group Inc. (NYSE:MKL), today announced the
appointment of Stacey Hinton as
Senior Underwriter, Head of Jewellers Block, Specie, with immediate
effect.
In her new role, Hinton will be responsible for driving the
profitable growth of Markel's international Jewellers Block
portfolio and developing and maintaining relationships with brokers
and clients. She will also work closely with the wider specie team,
actuarial and other parts of the business to implement the
Jewellers Block underwriting strategy and deliver continuous
improvements to underwriting processes. Hinton will be based in
London and report to Rob Ashby, Head of Specie at Markel.
Ashby commented: "Companies involved in the jewellery trade
currently face a range of evolving risks, including increased theft
and burglary owing to challenging economic conditions. More than
ever, these challenges underscore the need for businesses to
partner with insurers who understand their industry and their
operations, which can also offer bespoke and dynamic coverage
solutions."
"I'm therefore delighted to welcome Stacey to the team at
Markel. With close to 20 years' experience – the vast majority
gained in specie underwriting roles – she adds a significant amount
of experience to an already well-established team. I'm confident
that her depth of knowledge and industry network will significantly
add to the team's capabilities, enabling us to offer an even more
superior service to clients and brokers and further strengthening
our position as a leader in Jewellers Block insurance."
Hinton brings significant underwriting experience to the role,
having spent more than 18 years in the insurance industry. She was
most recently employed as Head of Specie at Convex Insurance,
having been promoted to that role in March
2023. Prior to Convex, she worked as a specie underwriter at
Fidelis Insurance. Hinton worked at Starstone Insurance between
October 2010 and August 2020, first as a specie underwriter and
then as a senior specie underwriter. This followed several other
underwriting-related roles at Arch Insurance, Ocaso Insurance and
Tysers, where she began her career in 2006.
