International General Insurance has announced the appointment of Emily Clapham as Senior Underwriter for its recently-announced Contingency line of business.
An experienced contingency underwriter, Clapham joins from Fidelis’ London office.
Prior to that she served as Contingency Underwriter for Beazley, where she joined after completing the Lloyd’s Generalist Graduate Programme in 2014.
Reporting to Richard Foster, Head of Property, Political Violence and Contingency, Clapham will be based in IGI’s London office and will be responsible for developing both standard and tailor-made solutions.
IGI launched its new contingency insurance line of business in April 2021 to take advantage of improving market conditions following a period of disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and government-mandated lockdowns.
The contingency line includes event cancellation coverage on an all risks or named perils basis, as well as non-appearance insurance, prize indemnity, bespoke parametric solutions, and transmission failure policies.
“We are delighted to welcome Emily to IGI,” said Foster. “She brings an impressive combination of technical underwriting skill and robust knowledge of the latest pricing systems and tools to put IGI in good stead to start writing contingency business as the event world opens up again.”
