Markel names Stacey Hinton Senior Underwriter and Head of Jewellers Block, Specie

Markel Group Inc., a reinsurance company, has announced the appointment of Stacey Hinton as Senior Underwriter, Head of Jewellers Block, Specie.

In her new position, Hinton will focus on enhancing the profitability of Markel’s international Jewellers Block portfolio while building and nurturing relationships with brokers and clients.

She will collaborate closely with the broader specie team, as well as the actuarial department and other business units, to execute the Jewellers Block underwriting strategy and drive ongoing improvements in underwriting processes.

Hinton will be located in London and will report to Rob Ashby, Head of Specie at Markel.

Ashby said: “Companies involved in the jewellery trade currently face a range of evolving risks, including increased theft and burglary owing to challenging economic conditions. More than ever, these challenges underscore the need for businesses to partner with insurers who understand their industry and their operations, which can also offer bespoke and dynamic coverage solutions.”

He continued: “I’m therefore delighted to welcome Stacey to the team at Markel. With close to 20 years’ experience – the vast majority gained in specie underwriting roles – she adds a significant amount of experience to an already well-established team. I’m confident that her depth of knowledge and industry network will significantly add to the team’s capabilities, enabling us to offer an even more superior service to clients and brokers and further strengthening our position as a leader in Jewellers Block insurance.”

Hinton brings extensive underwriting expertise to her new position, with over 18 years of experience in the insurance sector.

Most recently, she served as Head of Specie at Convex Insurance, a role she was promoted to in March 2023. Before her time at Convex, she worked as a specie underwriter at Fidelis Insurance.

Hinton’s previous experience includes a tenure at Starstone Insurance from October 2010 to August 2020, where she progressed from a specie underwriter to a senior specie underwriter. Her career began in 2006 with various underwriting roles at Arch Insurance, Ocaso Insurance, and Tysers.
