Chaucer, a well-known global specialty re/insurance group, has recently welcomed Nicola Miles as their new class underwriter for ports and terminals. With over 20 years of experience in the marine insurance sector, Miles has worked in significant roles at major insurers such as AIG and Navigators Insurance Company.

Not only does Miles bring a wealth of underwriting experience to her new role at Chaucer, but she has also contributed to the development of professional assessments for the Chartered Insurance Institute. Her expertise in marine cargo and risk management will surely be an asset to the team.

In her new position, Miles will be working closely with James Irvine, the leader of global hull lines, and Graham Harrison, the current class underwriter for ports and terminals. Together, they aim to further establish Chaucer’s presence in the ports and terminals insurance market.

Simon Schnorr, the head of marine and energy at Chaucer, expressed his excitement about having Miles join the team. He emphasized the importance of the ports and terminals specialty marine products and the company’s leading position in this sector. Schnorr believes that Miles will help enhance the service provided to broker partners and clients.

Harrison also shared his enthusiasm for collaborating with Miles, highlighting the opportunity to strengthen Chaucer’s offerings in the UK, London market, and internationally within the ports and terminals sector. He is looking forward to working with the team to further develop their insurance solutions.

Chaucer’s services are available through Lloyd’s of London and company markets, and the company is part of the China Re Group, a prominent reinsurance company with excellent ratings from AM Best and S&P Global Ratings.

The addition of Nicola Miles to the Chaucer team signifies an exciting time for the company’s marine insurance sector. With her extensive experience and expertise, Miles is well-positioned to contribute to the growth and success of Chaucer’s ports and terminals insurance offerings. We look forward to seeing the positive impact she will have on the team and the industry as a whole.
