In a world where energy transformation is not just inevitable but accelerating, the energy sector stands at a pivotal crossroads of risk and opportunity.
The shift to more sustainable operations, coupled with the need to modernise aging infrastructure, presents massive potential for growth and innovation. Navigating complex regulatory changes and geopolitical uncertainty requires not only resilience but visionary thinking.
As businesses confront risks like election uncertainty and stranded assets, we cover the onshore energy spectrum – from refining oil and gas, petrochemicals, chemicals, power generation, and renewables – supporting companies that will shape the future of energy.

I joined Inigo to build the Energy book, comprised of Downstream Oil, Gas & Petrochemicals, and Power and Renewables lines. With an engineering background in the processing industries and risk management, my passion is understanding and measuring property damage and business interruption risks, and working out how we can tailor cover to satisfy our clients’ needs.

Jamie Gallagher
I joined Inigo in January 2023, after spending thirteen years teaching and leading two A-level Chemistry departments. I was excited to start a new challenge and join a company which valued data and scientific knowledge to assess and understand risk. I contribute an in-depth technical expertise in a wide range of chemical processes which I can use to support the team when underwriting. My specialised technical underwriting knowledge is quickly progressing, as I support new clients and complete my ACII examinations.
Chris Stephen PHD
Data and Risk ANALYST, NATURAL RESOURCES
I joined the Inigo Onshore Energy team in January 2024 with over 20 years’ experience as a Risk Engineer in the Oil and Gas Insurance Market. My role in the team is to advise Underwriters of the risks associated with underwriting our Energy portfolio. I have a passion for data and analytics and have spent considerable time in my career analysing the causation of loss in the Onshore Energy Market. One of my goals at Inigo is to provide more informed occupancy-based advice to Underwriters through the use enhanced data and analytics. I have travelled extensively throughout the world and have lived in six different countries.
Valuable insights from claims data often lie buried and untouched in thousands of reports and surveys. We prioritise transforming this vast amount of information into actionable knowledge in our bespoke D&A and MI platforms.
By analysing past claims data to identify trends and pinpoint the root causes of losses, we can develop preventative strategies and improve future underwriting decisions. It also enables us to tell better stories about preventative technologies, and develop deeper risk management solutions that are innovative, unique and reflect Claims’ critical position as the core of our business.
