Authored by NMU
Following the appointment of Guy Smith into the newly-created Head of Marine & Specialty position, we are delighted to announce the promotion of Dean Gribben as Cargo & Freight Underwriting Manager.
Having been with NMU since 2001, not only does Dean bring a wealth of cargo & freight experience and a deep understanding of the marine market to the role, but his appointment from within the business also ensures consistency of our underwriting appetite and approach for our broker partners and policyholders alike.
Commenting on the changes, Guy said “Cargo & Freight remains at NMU’s core and with Dean’s extensive knowledge of this line of business and his solution-driven approach to underwriting, his appointment will only further enhance our broker partners’ view of us as leaders in the sector.
“The main focus of my new role is to provide leadership and support for the NMU underwriting managers of Cargo & Freight, Engineering, Terrorism, Marine Equipment and Cyber.
“Our overall goal is to ensure that we maintain the highest levels of underwriting performance, and constantly review, challenge and improve what we do to deliver great customer experience.”
