Fiona will have responsibility for the management of the Risk Underwriting team and her own specialist portfolio. She will also continue to focus on strengthening relationships with broking partners. Fiona is a seasoned trade credit expert, with almost 20 years’ experience in the industry. She joined TMHCCI in 2015 as a senior underwriter, and has excelled in her role ever since, where she currently manages the Retail portfolio. Fiona began her career at Grant Thornton, before moving to QBE Europe, where she served as an underwriter prior to joining TMHCCI.

Will is set to assume the role of Risk Underwriter where he will take over Fiona’s responsibility for the Retail portfolio. His promotion from Credit Analyst is a testament to his strong financial acumen, ability to process complex challenges efficiently, and commitment to driving the strategic objectives of the wider team. 

To ensure a smooth transition, both Fiona and Will plan to work together over the coming months to communicate the developments with broking partners and policyholders. 

Terry Macauley, Deputy Head of Risk, commented: “Fiona and Will have been key to the success of our trade credit business and these promotions recognise their underwriting expertise and our ambitions for this class. Demand for our specialist offering is growing, reflecting an increasingly complex risk landscape for insureds, and I am delighted that we have the talent inhouse to pursue our growth strategy. These promotions consolidate our expert team and complement our client-centric proposition and ambition to deliver continued growth across portfolios.”
