MS Amlin Underwriting Limited appoints Simon Morgan as Head of Property Delegated Authority

Appointment further strengthens and grows the company’s Property team 

MS Amlin Underwriting Limited (MS AUL), the Lloyd’s market global (re)insurer, today announces the appointment of Simon Morgan as Head of Property Delegated Authority, reporting into Sam Geddes, Head of Property and Allied Lines. Morgan will take up his role in November this year.

In this new role for MS AUL, Morgan will be leading and setting the underwriting strategy for the company’s Property Binders and Facilities teams, and supporting the growth of the wider property proposition. 

Morgan brings more than two decades of experience in the property market. He joins from Hiscox, where during a 15 year tenure, most recently as Divisional Director for Property in its London Markets business, he oversaw a portfolio of $500m, developing and implementing the company’s Property underwriting strategy.  Prior to this, Morgan was a Property Underwriter at Kiln where he wrote a diverse and international portfolio of property risks through a variety of placement channels.

Sam Geddes, Head of Property and Allied Lines, MS AUL, commented: “I am delighted that Simon will be joining our Property team at MS AUL. His appointment builds on the momentum within the division, following the recent appointment of Julie Ferguson, who leads our Open Market portfolio. As we continue to strive towards building one of the strongest property teams in the market, I am confident that Simon’s breadth of experience, sector expertise and the depth of both his broker and client relationships will support our ambitions to develop a best-in-class proposition.”
