Colbourn joins Pen Underwriting’s TMT as UK Senior Marine Trades Underwriter

Pen Underwriting’s marine business specialist, Trafalgar Marine Trades (TMT), extends its broker service capabilities with the appointment of Emma Colbourn as UK Senior Marine Trades Underwriter, effective October 8.

Colbourn brings to her new role more than 25 years’ marine insurance experience and specialist knowledge.

At Pen, she will focus on the UK marine trades market as part of a highly experienced underwriting team that looks after the risk and insurance requirements of marine businesses around the world.

Working closely with Pen’s dedicated business development team and broker clients, Colbourn will establish and manage a portfolio of marine trade clients, including boat builders, repairers, suppliers, equipment manufacturers, clubs, and marinas.

She will work closely with these clients to provide customized and flexible solutions that effectively address their unique requirements and challenges.

Her responsibilities will also encompass the continuous development of products and systems, with the goal of further enhancing the speed and efficiency of the customer journey.

Colbourn is joining Pen from Geo Underwriting Services where she has been Marine Trade Underwriting Manager for the past four years. Prior to this, she carried out a similar role at KGM Underwriting Services.

Paul Hartley, Co-Managing Director of Marine at Pen, said: “When it comes to detailed knowledge of the diverse risks and specialist insurance needs of UK marine businesses, Emma is one of the most skilled and experienced underwriters that brokers could turn to. From boat builders to repair yards, marinas to sailing clubs, and marine equipment manufacturers to chandlers, she really understands the breadth of property and liability exposures that these businesses face and the risks they need to mitigate and manage.

“Having Emma join the leadership team at TMT to focus on the significant growth potential in the UK market will also enable fellow senior underwriters James King and Stephen Loader to dedicate their expertise to growing our marine trades business across Europe and the rest of world respectively.

He added: “Quality service requires responsiveness, and that demands investment in empowered underwriters as well as digital enablement in fast-growing businesses like ours. We know Emma will be a huge asset to the team in continuing our provision of bespoke marine trade risk solutions, driving further product enhancement and ensuring our digital trading platforms amplify our offering. We very much look forward to welcoming Emma into TMT and the wider Pen family.”
