The latest update from Westfield Specialty for you;
Westfield Specialty International has expanded its casualty offering by launching a new UK and Europe liability portfolio, appointing Keith Knight, Class Underwriter, and Andy Skinner, Deputy Class Underwriter, to lead it.
This launch marks an important step as Westfield continues to build out across specialty lines and expand its presence in the European liability market, following the establishment of its company market operations in Luxembourg at the end of 2025. The UK and Europe liability portfolio will underwrite a broad range of liability risks, supporting clients operating across multiple jurisdictions and legal environments.
Ross MacDonald, Divisional Director, Casualty and Portfolio, added: “At Westfield, we have the appetite and capacity to take on new risks to grow our book, and the launch of the UK and Europe liability portfolio is a key step in that strategy. Our aim is to build a portfolio that grows sustainably, balancing profitability with disciplined risk selection, and that starts with investing in the best talent – this is exactly what we’re doing.
“Keith and Andy are highly experienced figures in the market, with deep technical expertise, a track record of high-quality service, and the ability to build productive, long-term relationships with brokers and clients. This makes them ideally placed to lead this portfolio as we diversify into geographies that traditionally sit outside Lloyd’s, providing greater flexibility to our broking partners.”
Keith Knight joins Westfield Specialty International from his role as Deputy Head of International Casualty at Everest. Andy Skinner most recently served as Head of UK & Ireland Casualty at Everest.
