Our specialist, highly experienced and market-leading team underwrites both UK and international clients on an XL, direct and facultative basis.

London, United Kingdom

As Head of Political Violence and Terrorism, I oversee the provision of standalone coverage against perils such as Terrorism, Riots, Coup d’Etat and War for assets ranging from football stadiums to supermarkets. We are unique in that our line of business can differ hugely year-on-year based on the changing geopolitical landscape, which keeps our jobs fresh and challenging. Outside of work, I am fortunate enough to be a Charlton Athletic season ticket holder.

I am a Political Violence and Terrorism Senior Underwriter, working on providing security, continuity and confidence so our clients can continue working and thriving in this ever-changing world. To do this, the team stays up-to-date with geopolitics and works together to find innovative solutions to our clients’ needs. I qualified as a ski Instructor in Canada, and love hitting the slopes as often as I can throughout winter.

UNDERWRITER

As Underwriter for the Political Violence & Terrorism team, I review and underwrite accounts submitted by our broking partners, and decide if they are within our underwriting appetite. If so, I price up terms. I am a long-suffering Peterborough Utd fan, and a very keen, albeit average golfer with an 11 handicap. My golfing career peaked with a round of 73 at Royal West Norfolk, where I three-putted the 18th. I’m still kicking myself.

The Inigo Claims Experience

Visit any insurance company, and you’ll see promises about claims expertise and efficiency. To be frank, that should go without saying.

To us, a high-quality claims experience means so much more.

It’s about appreciating everyone is different and understanding your unique challenges. It’s about building a partnership on the foundations of a refreshingly human approach. One that trusts us to lead the way, take decisive action and be a calming influence – when and while you need us.

And it’s about proactively working to benefit everyone through insightful data analysis and creating innovative, bold solutions based on the lessons learned.

And yes. These core principles are underpinned by our responsive, nimble and expert claims team – empowered to make the right decisions at the right time to provide the best possible outcome.

Because some things really shouldn’t remain unsaid.

HEAD OF CLAIMS

London, United Kingdom

e: [email protected]

As Head of Inigo’s claims department, I am responsible for all classes of business. I bring 30+ years of insurance claims experience to Inigo and was formerly AIG’s Chief Claims Officer, International responsible for management of all Commercial & Personal Lines claims across the International & Speciality Divisions. I specialise in Property & Energy claims as well as Catastrophe response and will also oversee all inwards/ceded Reinsurance claims at Inigo. I have been at Inigo since the start joining in December 2020 and I sit on the Inigo Executive Committee.

Perry Bowen

HEAD OF FIRST PARTY & REINSURANCE CLAIMS

London, United Kingdom

e: [email protected]

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.

James Bradley

FIRST PARTY CLAIMS ANALYST

London, United Kingdom

e: [email protected]

I made the switch from personal lines broking at A Plan Insurance, just after the pandemic to join Inigo as a First Party Claims Analyst in March 2022. I specialise in open market Property D&F, Political Violence and Terror, Onshore Energy and Mining claims. My aim is to learn from the claims experience and collaborate with Underwriters to provide informed decision making, based on the real world examples that support the underlying data. With a range of knowledge built up in a relatively short time in the Lloyd’s Insurance Market, I bring management experience in previous client facing roles to engage and rally the insurance market to provide the best possible outcome.
