Consilium, the global speciality re/insurance broking business of the Aventum Group, has launched its new Lloyd’s-backed Cargo Stock Throughput offering, and has appointed Jack Cooper as Senior Partner.
With a broad Cargo appetite, covering general, niche and complex Stock Throughput risks, Consilium aims to use its approach that combines global Speciality reach and use of advanced technology, with a service led approach from an independent broker.
Consilium’s new product is different from the rest of the market, the company noted, as complex Cargo risks straddling both Property and Marine can be placed quickly thanks to the highest level of specialist combined divisional expertise.
Commenting on the launch, James Baird, Co-CEO and Managing Partner at Consilium, said: “We’re once again broadening our range of expertise, as part of a continued desire to be inspirational, transforming markets that can benefit from a better way of doing things. Hot on the heels of our new Marine offering, Cargo is a natural next step for us and an opportunity to deliver a truly independent broking proposition.
“The incredible support from carriers across both the Lloyd’s, Company and MGA markets stands as testament to the strength of this new offering. Jack is vital to realising our vision. He is outcome-driven, service-led, and entrepreneurial in his approach – he will fit in perfectly.”
Cooper brings over 15 years of technical broking experience to his new role, as well as a strong background in independent broking, and a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced in placing complex Cargo risks.
He will join the company following his notice period from Alesco Risk Management Services, where he held the position of Executive Director.
His previous roles include Associate Director and Head of Broking at Gallagher and Cargo broker at Lloyd & Partners Ltd.
