Hamilton Global Specialty has appointed Sinead Cormican as active underwriter of Syndicate 4000 as of April 1, subject to regulatory approval.

Ms Cormican, who has served as deputy active underwriter for four years, will report to Miles Osorio, the chief underwriting officer at Hamilton Global Specialty, an underwriting platform of Bermudian-based Hamilton Insurance Group.

“Sinead’s underwriting talent, deep experience managing risks within Lloyd’s and excellent relationships with our colleagues, clients and brokers make her an ideal fit for the role,” said Adrian Daws, the chief executive officer of Hamilton Global Specialty.

The company also named Sukh Chana and Mark Johnson as joint deputy active underwriters. Mr Chana continues as head of financial institutions, while Mr Johnson remains head of property direct and facultative. Both will report to Ms Cormican.

Hamilton also confirmed that Trevor Ormes, a deputy active underwriter and the head of professional lines, will retire on April 30, following a 40-year career in the industry.

“We are grateful to Trevor for his many contributions during his four years with Hamilton and wish him well in his retirement,” Mr Daws said.

Hamilton underwrites risks globally through its three platforms: Hamilton Global Specialty, Hamilton Select and Hamilton Re.
