THB strengthens marine offering
THB, the specialist insurance and reinsurance broker, today announces the appointment of Toby Kayll as managing director of the marine division.
Kayll brings more than 20 years of experience to the role and joins from Integro Insurance Brokers where he was head of the marine practice. THB’s marine division was established in 2006 and offers the full spectrum of marine broking services including hull & machinery, liability, cargo and protection & indemnity.
THB chief executive Frank Murphy said: “Toby has an impressive track record and we look forward to his impact in enhancing and strengthening what is a core line of business for THB, and for our parent AmWINS.”
Kayll added: “I’m very much looking forward to realising marine opportunities within both the THB Group and the wider AmWINS family and identifying new business channels in the global marine market.”
Kayll’s more-than 20-year insurance industry career began with the Sedgwick graduate trainee programme. Following the acquisition of Sedgwick by Marsh he joined Lloyd’s as a cargo, fine art and specie underwriter. He later moved back to broking at GC Fac where he became head of cargo, fine art and specie. In 2009 Kayll joined Integro Insurance Brokers as head of the marine practice to establish a recognisable marine presence for Integro within the global marine market. He successfully integrated the acquisition of London Market Insurance Brokers in 2010 and Kite, Warren and Wilson in 2015.
