Miller adds Andrew Gordon to marine team, boosting sector expertise

Independent specialist re/insurance broker Miller has announced the appointment of Andrew Gordon to its marine team, further strengthening its capabilities in the sector.

Gordon brings over 40 years of experience in marine insurance, having most recently served as Managing Director at Seascope Insurance Services.

He began his career in 1973 at Lloyd’s broker Morice, Tozer & Beck, building extensive expertise in the market over his five decades of service.

This appointment is part of Miller’s broader strategy to expand its Marine operations, following the addition of several senior professionals last year, including Andreas Bisbas, Nick Lockyer, Lee Bright, and Craig Dennis.

Nick Summers, head of direct marine at Miller, said Gordon’s extensive experience and strong relationships with underwriters will play a crucial role in the development of Miller’s Marine offering.

“Andrew’s distinguished reputation will further enhance our high standards of client service and the expertise that sets Miller apart,” Summers said.

Gordon also expressed his enthusiasm about joining Miller, stating that he looks forward to contributing to the company’s marine market offering.

“I’m excited to work with Nick and our colleagues to further enhance Miller’s standout offering in the Marine market, and I look forward to supporting our prestigious clients as we continue to meet their evolving needs,” Gordon said.

Miller also expanding in non-marine lines

In July, Miller also appointed Kazuhiko Shinkai as head of its non-marine Japan strategy. Shinkai is responsible for the operational management of Miller’s Japanese business and will lead the expansion of its non-marine operations through Lead Insurance Services Limited.

This move continues Miller’s strategic growth in the Japanese market, where it aims to strengthen its local presence and diversify its services.

Shinkai’s appointment is part of Miller’s ongoing efforts to broaden its global footprint, particularly in regions like Japan where the company sees significant growth potential.

With Shinkai at the helm of its non-marine operations in Japan, Miller highlighted that it is focused on expanding its offerings and building long-term relationships with clients in the region.
