MNK International, a Lloyd’s specialist insurance broker operating under MNK Group, has appointed Danny Greenaway as Managing Director to oversee the launch and development of its Aviation and Aerospace division.
The move is intended to support the company’s expansion into the aviation insurance market and broaden its services for clients facing specialist and emerging risks.
The company said Greenaway’s appointment reflects its plans to establish a stronger position in the aviation and aerospace insurance sectors, drawing on his industry experience and international market connections to develop the new business.
Greenaway has spent more than 35 years working in the insurance industry, with a particular focus on aviation and aerospace insurance and reinsurance placements in the Lloyd’s and international markets.
His previous positions include senior roles at OneGlobal Broking, Besso (Ardonagh Specialty) Aviation and Grimme Butcher Jones. During his career, he has arranged insurance and reinsurance programmes for a range of aviation businesses, including commercial airlines, private aviation operators, VVIP aircraft fleets, airport operators, ground handling companies and aviation service providers.
His background also covers insurance arrangements for maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) businesses, as well as aircraft owners and leasing companies.
Greenaway will operate from MNK International’s London headquarters, working with the firm’s senior management to establish the division’s commercial direction, build its client portfolio and pursue opportunities in international aviation insurance markets.
According to MNK International, the division will form part of its broader efforts to increase its involvement in specialist insurance classes. The company also identified developing aviation technologies, including drones, as an area creating additional demand for insurance products designed to address new and complex exposures.
Naman Kumar, Chief Executive Officer of MNK International, said: “As we continue to enhance our capabilities across specialist and emerging risks, Danny’s extensive broking knowledge, international network and business development experience will be invaluable.
“Combined with MNK International’s global reach and technical expertise, his appointment allows us to bring a distinctive offering to clients across the aviation and aerospace sectors.”
Greenaway added: “MNK International’s rapid growth and entrepreneurial spirit make it an ideal platform on which to build its aviation and aerospace offering. These sectors continue to generate demand for specialist insurance solutions, particularly in fast-developing areas such as drone technology.
“I look forward to growing the division and strengthening our capabilities across complex and evolving risks. By delivering bespoke, forward-thinking solutions, we will help clients around the world manage those risks effectively and pursue new opportunities with confidence.”
MNK International expects the new division to extend its insurance broking activities across the aviation and aerospace sectors, with Greenaway responsible for developing its market relationships, expanding its specialist services and supporting the company’s international growth plans.
