Ed Gandon will be responsible for the development and servicing
of the company’s UK and Ireland casualty book with a dedicated
focus on Global Accounts customers. Ed joined ACE in 2013 as Senior
Casualty Underwriter. He has over 10 years’ insurance experience,
having previously held the positions of Casualty Broker at Marsh
and Senior Casualty Underwriter at Chubb. He will report to Mark
Roberts, Casualty Manager, UK & Ireland.
Gary Etherington will be responsible for developing and
servicing the property portfolio, again with an exclusive focus on
Global Accounts customers. Gary replaces Stephanie Cryer, who has
been promoted to Vice President Property, ACE Overseas General.
Gary has 15 years’ insurance industry experience, having joined ACE
in 2008 as Senior Property Underwriter and was previously Property
Underwriter at RSA. He will report into Steve Walker, Property
Manager, UK & Ireland.
Both Ed Gandon and Gary Etherington will be based in London and
their appointments are effective immediately.
Global Accounts is the new name for ACE’s major risks segment in
the UK and Ireland, following the launch of the company’s global
initiative last year to bring together regional teams of global
client and claims executives, multinational servicing units as well
as ACE’s leading award-winning ACE Worldview information portal
into one, cohesive Global Accounts team for the benefit of clients
and brokers. The Global Accounts division focuses on serving the
needs of large domestic and multinational customers around the
globe with complex underwriting and servicing needs.
David Robinson, Regional President, ACE UK & Ireland, said:
“As an underwriting company, nothing gives us more pleasure than
seeing talented underwriters progress within our organisation. Both
Ed and Gary have a proven track record of disciplined and creative
underwriting as well as leadership qualities which will ensure the
continued growth of our P&C teams for the benefit of our global
account clients. This internal promotion to two such senior roles
is a testament to the talent we have within ACE and also
demonstrates our commitment to the development of our people.”
More and more companies in the UK and Ireland are finding
opportunities to do business outside their home countries. ACE is
one of the very few insurers capable of coordinating service and
underwriting across multiple lines and geographies and delivering
truly global service to both brokers and clients locally. Global
Accounts brings together all of ACE’s capabilities around the world
– our people, products and network infrastructure – for the benefit
of this important and growing market in the UK and Ireland.”
