Agile Underwriting Services appoints senior underwriter

A multi-class insurtech and Lloyd’s coverholder has expanded its aviation capabilities with a new hire.

Jamie Connor will join Agile Underwriting Services’ specialised aviation underwriting team in September as senior underwriter. Based in Melbourne, he will report to Michael Dalton, head of aviation, alongside senior underwriter Tom Laine.

Connor brings to his new role a solid background in the aviation sector, having worked both in the London and Australian markets and having experienced all facets of the aviation insurance process starting in claims, then moving to underwriting and more recently broking.  

“We’re delighted to have Jamie join us to grow our aviation business which has established itself as a reliable market in an increasingly difficult sector,” said Robin Barham, CEO and co-founder of Agile Underwriting Services. “He is a great fit with our existing team which currently writes aviation risks in Australia, New Zealand, and the South Pacific.”
