Group aims to strengthen team and help clients obtain the cover they need
Beazley Group, a UK-based company engaged in risk insurance and reinsurance business, has expanded its property insurance business through the recruitment of Mark Bodkin as a new senior underwriter on the Lloyd’s team.
Most recently Mr Bodkin was a senior underwriter at the global markets property division of Hiscox.

Alistair Robson, head of London market underwriting at Beazley’s property group, said: Premium rates, which have been recently depressed in the property market, have been rising quite sharply since January. We see growth opportunities but we are also mindful of the real challenges confronting our clients and brokers in the current economic environment. I am delighted that we will be able to call upon Mark’s skills and experience to strengthen our team and help our clients obtain the cover they need.
