AXA XL has announced the appointment of Matthew Bishop as senior underwriter for downstream and power for the UK and Lloyd’s market.
Bishop joins insurance giant AXA’s property and casualty and specialty risk division after his stint as senior underwriter for onshore energy, power, and utilities at StarStone Insurance, which he joined in 2016.
Prior to this, he served as an onshore energy and power broker for RKH Speciality in 2012 after beginning his underwriting career as an intern with Lloyd’s of London in 2011.
In his new role, Bishop will be tasked with supporting the business planning and forecasting process and establishing and developing relationships with key brokers and clients in the market. He will be based in London.
“I am delighted that Mat will be taking on the role of senior underwriter, downstream and power,” said Nicola Harris, head of energy UK and Lloyd’s market. “Having worked both on the broking and underwriting side, his knowledge and experience will be a great asset in helping us to deliver our payer to partner strategy, as we continue to develop our UK energy portfolio.”
