Beazley, a leading provider of specialist environmental liability
insurance, has increased its capabilities with the hire of two new
environmental underwriters in the US.
Edwin Baez joins Beazley with a focus on site specific pollution
coverage, based out of the company’s Miami office.
Previously, Baez was with Berkley Environmental, where he held
senior positions in their New York and Miami offices. Prior to
that, he was a senior environmental underwriter with XL and
Zurich.
Kirk Jordan joins Beazley as an environmental underwriter based
in its Chicago office. Previously, he was an electronic futures
trader for ARB Trading Group. Prior to that, he was a process
engineer with ExxonMobil in Texas.
Beazley covers a wide range of environmental risks including
operational coverage for businesses that may face claims for
polluting the premises of third parties; professional liability
coverage for environmental consultants; protection for ongoing
fixed site operations; contractors’ pollution liability; and
brownfield site remediation. Key target industries are the
manufacturing, industrial, real estate, hospital and educational
sectors.
Jayne Cunningham, Beazley’s environmental focus group leader,
said: “Beazley’s environmental business continues to grow and the
addition of Edwin and Kirk further increases our ability to develop
creative solutions for clients. Beazley works with organizations of
all sizes to create insurance programs that address a wide range of
known, and potential, pollution incidents.”
