In the New South Wales distribution teams, Chubb promoted Simon Stevenson to IBU distribution manager for property at NSW, and will transfer Daniel Crombie, current IBU underwriter for marine, to join Simon’s property team as IBU underwriter for property.
Stevenson’s appointment will allow Adrian Habils to relinquish his dual role as IBU/GBU distribution manager for property and focus solely on the GBU role.
