The expansion includes a new ocean marine form and improved inland marine offerings targeting the construction, transportation and specialty segments.
Concurrently, BHSI strengthened its leadership team by appointing Ben Wyatt, a former Ascot executive, as head of marine, and Chris Frick, previously with Liberty Mutual, as head of marine claims in the US.
Wyatt brings more than ten years of marine insurance experience to his new role, while Frick contributes over three decades of industry expertise, including 16 years in marine claims leadership at Liberty Mutual.
BHSI marine executive Dimitry Zilberud said: “BHSI continues to expand our marine capabilities and team around the globe. This US expansion is the latest example. Ben will lead our regional team of underwriters and bring our far-reaching marine offerings to retail and wholesale brokers across the US, while Chris delivers on our ‘CLAIMS IS OUR PRODUCT’ philosophy for customers.”
