Contingency

Mark Symons

Senior Underwriter

I have been active in the Contingency market since 1991, first as a broker before moving to Underwriting the class in 2000; the last 16 years being at Beazley.

Convex is an exciting place to be. It’s the right time to enter this business sector – the management at Convex clearly have a long and successful history, understand Contingency business and the importance of building a long-term sustainable and profitable account.

Luke Killeya

Senior Underwriter

I’ve been an underwriter in the London market for over 15 years and focused on contingency for the past ten; most recently in the team at AXA XL for five years.

Joining the exciting team at Convex was a great opportunity. It’s got the best underwriters in the market: they’re really forward-thinking and creative. The chance to build a successful crisis management department in this environment, and with Mark and James, was an opportunity I couldn’t turn down.

Who we do business with

We cater for clients in all sub-classes of contingency. Event cancellation is our biggest area – from conferences and trade shows to theatre and sporting events. We also cover non-appearance, prize indemnity and film and advertising production.

We have strong relationships with brokers, and work closely with them to design bespoke services that fit our clients’ needs. Whoever we’re working with, we aim to build long-term relationships, and continually strive to improve the quality of the products and service we offer.
