Dale Underwriting Partners (DUP), the trading name for Dale Managing Agency Limited’s Lloyd’s Syndicate 1729, has appointed Daniel Prendergast as Senior Underwriter, Accident and Health (A&H).
Prendergast’s appointment comes as Dale continues to capitalise on new business opportunities within the industry.
Overall, Prendergast brings 15 years of experience within the A&H markets towards the role. He joins DUP from RSA where he most recently served as a Senior A&H Underwriter.
He previously wrote Professional and Financial Risks, and he reports to Head of Specialty Insurance at Dale, Martin Lawson.
“I am really excited to be joining Dale at such a period of growth in A&H space. There is a lot of evolving complexity around wordings for travel policies, and the team at Dale is well positioned to provide the kind of expert advice that our broker partners need to service their clients well,” said Prendergast.
“We are delighted to welcome such an experienced underwriter as Dan to Dale at a period when our Accident and Health portfolio is growing due to strong market demand in the post-COVID environment,” added Lawson.
“As travel begins to return to pre-COVID levels, employers need to look carefully at their duty of care to staff when they are travelling, which is creating challenges for them but also opportunities for specialty insurance businesses such as Dale.
“Dan’s appointment is part of a wider Dale strategy of cross-selling and offering a broader range of risk services across the specialty space at Lloyd’s.”
