Onshore
Energy Insurance

Energy is more politicised than ever before. Green solutions, fossil fuels, fracking and nuclear energy are sparking global debate, discontent and disruption – often leaving people and businesses on the frontline, and it’s likely to get worse before it gets better. Our specialist Onshore Energy insurance protects companies worldwide against property damage and business interruption, with a focus on the US, Canada, Australia, Europe, Japan and the UK.

We cover businesses at all facets of the onshore energy spectrum – from oil refining, mid-stream industries such as gas plants, terminals and distribution, petrochemicals and chemicals, power generation, to renewables.

Intrinsic to our underwriting capabilities is an unrivalled claims experience which sits at the centre of our Insurance and Reinsurance expertise.

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. I love to cycle whenever I get the chance. It’s the best exercise there is while sitting down.

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.

I joined Inigo in November 2023 bringing more than 20 year’s experience in the Lloyds claims market. I have in recent years held senior claims roles at Ki/Brit, Pioneer and Arch with a strong focus on all 1st party classes. I am proud to work with underwriters who see the claims value proposition in order to retain and grow their wider business. I am also keen to promote the claims function of a syndicate as a great career choice to younger entrants to the London insurance market. In my spare time I like to watch most sports (Tottenham Hotspur when they win) and get on my Peloton for a workout at every opportunity.
