General Liability Team
Ed Wallis
HEAD OF CASUALTY
London, United Kingdom
Alongside heading up our Casualty team of underwriters, I specialise in General Liability. We provide third-party liability coverage (both public and products) to a large group of diverse risk managed companies. Typically, these are US-based and part of the Fortune 1000. My three young kids take up most of my free time. When I do get a moment of peace, I am an avid Chelsea fan. I also really enjoy cooking and eating out.
Flavia Lyons
UNDERWRITER
London, United Kingdom
As a General Liability Underwriter, I analyse, price and negotiate contract terms for large and complex third-party liability risks, predominantly from the US. With a diverse expertise and appetite, ranging from excess casualty for Fortune 1000 businesses to primary level coverage for SMEs, I aim to create long- term solutions and client relationships. To switch off, I enjoy running, tennis and learning to solve cryptic crosswords.
Olivia Reynolds
UNDERWRITER
London, United Kingdom
As an Underwriter on our US General Liability team, I offer clients cover for their third-party liabilities arising from the products they sell or their premises. While we focus on US-based Fortune 1000 companies, we also cover global exposures. Our portfolio mainly includes the rail, construction, manufacturing, and hospitality sectors. Outside of work, I’m attempting to learn to play the piano, and have a serious love/hate relationship with running.
