There have been a couple of key changes at the claims team in London, for Liberty Specialty Markets (LSM).
Gavin Coley (pictured) has been promoted to London head of specialty claims, reporting into Mike Gillett, chief claims officer. Coley’s promotion is reward for a strong first year at the firm that has seen him responsible for managing the energy, property and construction claims team. He worked in the London market for several years prior to his arrival at LSM, and takes over from Scott Kellers who now switches to deputy head of claims reinsurance after a year covering the role on an interim basis.
Meanwhile, coming onboard is Kevin Miller, who becomes energy, property and construction technical claims lead, reporting into Coley. He makes the switch from AIG, where he was a major loss claims adjuster, and offers more than 30 years’ experience of the London market.
“Since joining LSM Gavin has proved himself to be very capable and his promotion is well deserved,” said Gillett. “Kevin is a market-leading practitioner in energy, property and construction claims. He brings a wealth of experience and technical capability to the role. His appointment reflects the continued focus of the claims team on having outstanding technical capability that underpins our claims service.”
