The International Underwriting Association (IUA) has announced the appointment of two new staff members to its secretariat supporting companies in the London re/insurance market, May El Mantawy and Faye Hepburn.
El Mantawy and Hepburn have both started working as Legal, Underwriting and Claims Technicians and will work within the IUA’s underwriting and claims department, which operates London Market committees for a comprehensive range of business classes.
As part of their new role they will contribute to the association’s work to secure an optimal trading environment for its member companies.
They will also gain experience in the association’s public policy department, supporting legal, compliance and tax groups, as well as monitoring regulatory developments affecting IUA members.
El Mantawy joins IUA from NFU Mutual, a UK insurance composite, where she joined as a Technology Adoption Coordinator before being appointed Change Management Coordinator.
Before joining IUA, Hepburn worked for outsourced insurance buyer and claims resolution firm Mactavish as a Business Administrator.
Commenting on the appointments, Dave Matcham, Chief Executive of the IUA , said: “I am pleased to welcome both May and Faye to the IUA. They will greatly enhance our capability to effectively support more than 80 member firms in the London company market.
“More than 1,300 individuals now regularly participate in the dozens of market groups that we run and it is important that we provide each of these committees with a dedicated support team.”
