I am a former Chairman of the Manchester Marine Insurance Association and until recently sat on the Joint Cargo Committee at Lloyds. I have been working in the Manchester Marine Market for nearly 20 years. Whilst most of my time has been spent underwriting, I have also served time in broking and claims. My current role as regional marine manager at CNA Hardy is split between cargo; transportation and contract logistics.
