IQUW also announced Dan Warburg as its new head of reinsurance, London.

Based in the capital, he will report to Steven Tebbutt, active underwriter IQUW Syndicate 1856 and Stephen Young, group head of IQUW Reinsurance.

The organisation also announced the appointments of industry veteran John Brown as lead underwriter, property, and Stuart Bell as new head of property claims.
