The appointments are part of TMHCC’s strategy to enhance its professional risk team, which offers expertise in managing complex PI risks. The company aims to further its capacity to serve brokers and insureds by delivering tailored risk solutions.

“In today’s market conditions, characterised by heightened legal scrutiny and evolving regulatory standards, TMHCC is committed to protecting our clients and offering best-in-class service and policy cover when their reputation and financial stability is at risk,” Eaton said. “As our team grows, so does our diversity of knowledge, which enables us to understand our clients’ unique needs. Chloe’s drive and previous experience will be an invaluable asset in reinforcing the commitment to our clients, and I look forward to working with her.”
Julia McCarthy, London underwriting & operations manager for professional risks, highlighted the company’s dedication to supporting its broking partners.
“Having the right talent in place to help our clients better understand their risk environment is more important than ever, so we're pleased to welcome Dan to the team.
