Liberty Specialty Markets, which is part of Liberty Mutual Insurance Group has created three new divisions within its UK and MENA region. They are marine and aviation, specialty and property. Meghan Walker (pictured) will lead marine and aviation. Mike Burle will lead the specialty division. The property leader will be announced in due course.

In addition to these changes, Liberty Specialty Markets said a new auto-follow business unit would be established within its delegated authority practice. Lewis Edwards will continue to lead this practice.

Henry Nelson, chief underwriting officer UK & MENA region for Liberty Specialty Markets, said: “The changes will support the roll-out of our integrated business unit model, which brings together underwriting with all aspects of delivery (claims, operations, finance, portfolio management, etc.) and encourages them to contribute proactively to business success.

“The new structure offers clear career opportunities for our talented people to build their careers at Liberty.”
