Specialty re/insurance MGA Rokstone appointed Jack Pickard as Senior Property Underwriter.
Pickard joins from Geo Specialty, where he was Property underwriter for five years.
Before that he spent six years with The Channel Syndicate where he was International Property Underwriter.
Pickard, commented: “I am hugely excited about joining the Rokstone team, their culture and values epitomise that of a market leading forward thinking MGA business of choice.”
James Potter, Deputy CEO of Rokstone, commented: “I’m delighted to welcome Jack to the team. His appointment will complement and grow our already market leading Property D&F team which now has more than 200 years’ combined experience amongst a team of eight underwriters.
“That level of senior expertise really makes us stand apart – particularly in this current hard market.
“MGAs like Rokstone have now established themselves as the primary choice for great underwriting talent that previously would have gone to Lloyds or the company market, but that traditional model has been turned on its head in recent years.
“Talent is now attracted by the agility, entrepreneurial spirit, superior service and therefore growth, being enjoyed by the best MGAs now.”
