Specialist re/insurance broker THB has appointed Paul Baker as associate director for its London-based North America special risks division.
Baker joins from Tysers with 35 years’ experience specialising in North American property/catastrophe and transportation risks, both on a facultative basis and in the form of binding authorities.
“Like many in the Lloyd’s market, I respect Paul’s knowledge and years of experience,” said Tony Driver, managing director of THB North America special risks.
“It is my great pleasure to welcome him to our team and I am confident that having Paul on board will open up further opportunities in the North American market where he will have a particular focus on flood and transportation.”
Commenting on his appointment, Baker said, “I am excited to be joining the THB family, a business which I believe has the perfect blend of excellent market connections, built up over six decades of independent wholesale broking, and progressive thinking, being part of the US wholesaler AmWINS with its 150-year vision.
“I look forward to working with a new team of colleagues, sharing my experience and using my market knowledge to create new opportunities and further grow the division’s business.”
