Tokio Marine has recruited experienced underwriters into its life sciences and fine art teams, which the carrier said were two growth classes of business for the firm. Jake Burgess joins as fine art and specie underwriter while Ella Henderson becomes life sciences underwriter.

Vivek Syal, chief underwriting officer at TMK, said: “Having Jake and Ella come aboard demonstrates our commitment to strengthening our depth of talent across the business. Both bring a wealth of experience and a strong track record of delivery that will help us further enhance our leading capabilities across two key strategic growth areas, and we know they will help us deliver on our ambitions.”
