With more than 14 years’ experience in the London Market, I joined Sompo in September 2020 to help build a Retail Property offering targeting specific industry segments where we have a depth of expertise enabling us to develop and offer innovative solutions. In particular, European Real Estate is a rapidly changing market facing a range of new issues created by the fallout from the pandemic coupled with increasing restrictions from existing Insurers. Clients value our financial strength and ability to provide capacity as their portfolios grow but they also appreciate our entrepreneurial mindset and flexibility as we help them address their changing needs. As we expand and become increasingly integrated and efficient, clients are benefitting from our regional structure that enables us to better leverage our underwriting acumen, market expertise, consistency of appetite and the focus on excellent customer service that we have always prioritised.
