Michael Meacock, active underwriter of Meacock Syndicate 727 for more than five decades, has passed away.
In an announcement by Lloyd’s members’ agency Hampden, it was noted that Meacock was on holiday with his family at the time of his passing.
Hampden stated: “Syndicate 727 has notified us that Alec Taylor, deputy underwriter, will assume overall responsibility for underwriting on an interim basis.
“Mr Meacock was the active underwriter of his eponymous syndicate for over 55 years, indeed the ‘Father of the House’ of Lloyd's. He was known for his reliability in generating a healthy return to investors in the most challenging market cycles.”
Syndicate 727, according to Hampden, averaged an annual gross profit on capacity of 8.5% from 1999 to 2020.
Meacock was 85.
