Hamilton Underwriting managing agency of Syndicate 3334 and the Lloyd’s operations of Bermuda-based Hamilton Insurance Group has appointed Robert Patten to Head of Casualty.
Patten is set to begin on December 11th, and will report to Active Underwriter and Head of Treaty Trevor Carvey.
Hamilton Underwriting Limited Chief Executive Officer Dermot O’Donohoe welcomed Patten to his new role; “with Lloyd’s’ approval to add excess casualty to our portfolio in 2018, it’s great to have the benefit of Bob’s significant experience and expertise as we enter this class of business.
“Bob will be working with Hamilton Re Chief Underwriting Officer Casualty Insurance, Steve Hartwig, and his team to source business in the London market. Steve and Bob’s outreach will be complementary, underwriting to a maximum capacity of $25 million in London and $50 million in Bermuda.
“With an expected improvement in rates, terms and conditions, it’s timely for Bob to join us as Hamilton expands its leadership in this market segment.”
Patten joins Hamilton Underwriting from a role as Head of Casualty with Novae Insurance, prior to which he spent eight years at Aspen Insurance in a number of senior roles.
He’s also worked with Head of International P&C, XL Europe, Starr Excess and the Dublin and Bermuda-based operations of what is now Chubb Limited (formerly ACE Group of Companies).
