Horizon announces new appointment

Horizon Underwriting Managers are pleased to announce the appointment of Mike Brews to the role of Head of Underwriting and Marketing.

Mike will increase Horizon’s representation in a marine market that recognises the need for a team of professional “do it right first time” underwriters. Reporting to Paul March, Managing Director of Horizon, he will be based in Johannesburg, but will play a role across the business and all geographic areas of operation.

Paul March comments: “Horizon has established itself in the South African marine insurance industry, building on strong roots and adapting to an ever changing environment, Mike’s arrival will build on this success. His extensive technical knowledge and underwriting experience are assets which we intend to leverage to put Horizon at the forefront of Africa’s marine underwriting fraternity. I wish Mike well in his new position.”

Mike joins Horizon from Associated Marine, a division of Santam, which he headed up as Chief Operating Officer for the past 5 years. This follows previous positions at Kiln (previously International Marine) and Alexander Forbes (now part of Marsh). These positions have enabled Mike to establish longstanding relationships with the broking fraternity and build a wealth of knowledge in marine underwriting.

Horizon is underwritten by Lombard Insurance Company Limited, who are equally excited about Mike’s arrival to the Horizon team. Peter Gordon, Managing Executive of Partnerships at Lombard and the Chairman of Horizon, comments: “The Horizon team is one of the most experienced and technically competent in the South African marine market and we are thrilled that Mike has chosen to join us. He will complement the existing team at a technical level and his marketing skills and relationships will add fresh impetus to Horizon’s marketing and broker relationships approach.”
