"The things that make me different are the things that make me ME. -Piglet"
― A. A. Milne
ABOUT
My career began in The City in 1980 at Commercial Union, learning the basics of underwriting, before diversifying into broking and claims in the London and provincial markets. A focus on commercial insurance, national and international programmes, including their design, wordings, placement and claims, matching theory to practice. This breadth of experience enables me
to provide wide-reaching examples to pass my knowledge on to others.
