Managing general agent Globe Underwriting, which is part of The Ardonagh Group, has launched a new professional indemnity offering that will build its presence in the financial lines market. To deliver the proposition, Globe has appointed Paul Nolan as head of financial lines and Kiran Wignall as underwriting manager, professional indemnity.

Both Nolan and Wignall have joined from Probitas Syndicate 1492. Nolan had served as head of financial lines, while Wignall had been head of professional indemnity.

Nolan said: “Globe is at a dynamic stage in its growth, and the opportunity to build a new financial lines division from the ground up is an incredibly appealing one.

“Being able to shape the strategy, recruit top talent, and work within such a fast-paced and entrepreneurial environment with a clear mandate for growth is extremely compelling.”

Globe also offers cover in sectors including cyber, forestry, political violence, terrorism and fine art jewellery and specie.
