Tysers Insurance Brokers has added a big name to its roster, in the form of a former Lloyd’s non-executive director.
Andrew Kendrick, who has more than 40 years’ experience in the industry across Bermuda, Europe and the UK, joins the firm as non-executive chair. His career includes leadership roles with the likes of Chubb and Ace, including taking the roles of president and chairman of Chubb European Group, as well as tenures with Ockham Underwriting, the Lloyd’s Market Association and Russian Reinsurance Co.
“I am delighted to welcome Andrew to the board of Tysers,” said Tysers director and AUB Group CEO Mike Emmett. “Andrew is a highly regarded leader in the Lloyd’s, London Market and European insurance industry and brings strong knowledge, expertise, and relationships in the London Wholesale Insurance market. His industry experience and understanding of the regulatory environment is highly valued and will add further depth to the Tysers board. I congratulate Andrew on his appointment and look forward to his contribution.”
Meanwhile, Tysers CEO Clive Buesnal commented that he has known Kendrick for years and believes he can be a central figure as Tysers develops its next chapter.
“Andrew’s deep insight into underwriting and carriers along with his natural focus on the customer and extensive experience of operating at board level will be invaluable,” he said. “I would also like to thank Peter Haynes who will retire from the role of chairman of Tysers once the handover to Andrew is complete. Peter has been chairman since 2018 and has played a significant role in supporting the company through many changes, including the recent sale of the business to AUB Group.”
