AmWINS’ MGA Unicorn appoints Perry Lyons
US-based global broker AmWINS Group, Inc. (“AmWINS”) today announces the appointment of Perry Lyons as motor fleet underwriter for its London-based managing general agent Unicorn Underwriting (“Unicorn”).
Lyons brings more than 20 years of experience in underwriting motor fleet and related risks to Unicorn. He joins from XL Catlin where his primary focus was underwriting haulage business, with an emphasis on risk managed programs. Before XL Catlin, Lyons was a motor broker placing wholesale motor business into the London market.
His appointment extends Unicorn’s substantial underwriting expertise and highlights the company’s strong growth since its launch in March 2016.
Julian Cashen, class underwriter at Unicorn, said: “Perry is a highly experienced and extremely well-regarded underwriter whose arrival could not be more timely. Unicorn’s underwriting expertise backed by Berkshire Hathaway capacity is proving a compelling proposition for motor fleet business in a market where mergers and acquisitions have narrowed the field. Perry’s appointment adds to our momentum as we scale the business and further expand our outstanding proposition to clients.”
