Specialist lines underwriting agency, CFC, today announced the arrival of Kate Lyes as Senior Management Liability Underwriter.

Management liability has always formed part of the modular policy approach CFC offers, but with its eye ever focused on the emerging risks faced by clients, the firm has appointed Kate, former London Manager of Executive Protection at Chubb Insurance, to spearhead the expansion of this division. Kate will be responsible for defining CFC’s management liability strategy and underwriting approach whilst also creating a suite of tailored products for specific industry verticals.

CFC Underwriting Director, Andrew Holmes, comments: “Management liability policies are highly complex. It is critical that brokers work with a partner that will consult with clients to truly understand the individual nuances of their business and potential exposures. All of our policies are written with an in depth understanding of client needs and in order to achieve this we must employ the best people in the market. Kate is a true talent and her appointment highlights our commitment to developing our management liability offering. CFC is well known for its specialist approach and we will apply the same level of expertise to this area as we do with all our products.”

Kate Lyes said: “I am delighted to be joining the team at CFC. The increasing demand for innovation in the management liability arena presents a real opportunity for us to take a market leading position. I am thrilled by the prospect of working with true innovators in the underwriting market.”
