In just five years in the business, Laura Nicol has already carved out a niche in marine-related risks. Helping brokers get to grips with the requirements involved in the international transport of goods and the specific issues arising out of handling losses in foreign jurisdictions is a passion of Nicol’s, as is improving claims management in the most cost-effective manner. Since she joined BHSI two years ago, Nicol has grown her portfolio to span a wide variety of territories, including the US, Canada, Europe, UK, Middle East, Asia, Pacific Islands and New Zealand. She also manages her own claims team and acts as a member of the NSW YIPs committee, seeking to provide educational and networking opportunities that help better connect industry peers.
