About Ben

I am a Senior Claims Underwriter in the Marine, Energy and Specialty team. Over the past 7 years, I have worked solely in the MES team, handling their Upstream Energy, Marine and Energy liability claims. I have been in the Lloyds of London insurance market for over 12 years. I started my career on a Graduate Claims Adjuster programme during which time I was seconded to Hiscox for a short period of time. After the two year programme finished, I joined their Energy and Liability claims team. Whilst there, I was also contracted to Aspen to support them with their liability claims portfolio. I handle a variety of complex and non-complex Upstream Energy and Marine/Energy Liability claims, including large primary and excess Offshore Construction, P&I, Pollution Liability and Maritime Employers Liability claims. I am also an active member of the London Market Claims Education Committee.

Outside of work, I enjoy cycling and swimming. I also enjoy travelling outside the UK whenever possible, as well as heading back up to Newcastle to visit family and friends.
