Lloyd’s insurer, AEGIS London, has expanded its digital trading team with the appointments of Iain Lewers as digital business development analyst and Mark Wilding as digital product development specialist.

Mr Lewers began his career in insurance with WTW, and has previously held senior broking and production roles at Tysers and Gallagher. Throughout his career he has worked with the OPAL team in promoting the benefits of the platform and has explored different distribution channels for its products.

Mr Wilding started his career as a broker before switching disciplines to underwriting, where he moved into consultancy, change delivery and product. Most recently he worked for Liberty Specialty Markets as digital product owner. Whilst there, he was instrumental in the creation of the digital team and saw successful launches of contractors all risks, terror and aviation (drone) specialty digital products.

Both will report into Calum Williams, who has assumed the newly created role of digital development manager. Mr Williams, whose experience includes time spent across multiple classes as both a broker and underwriter, will report into Tom Squires, head of digital trading. He will now look after the distribution of digital product offerings and the development of new products for OPAL, AEGIS London’s quote-and-bind platform.
