Since MPR was established in 2016, we have gone from strength to strength with Five Star feedback from brokers, Chartered Insurance Underwriting Status and a recent Long Term Capacity Deal. Central to this is our team, which has over 185 years of combined financial lines experience between them. Consistent with our ongoing commitment to high quality products and service we are giving more focus in some of our key areas with the following promotions and role developments:
Catriona Yule

She has worked in a variety of roles across the UK regions for Chubb & MPR, both developing and underwriting all major financial lines products.

Anthony Wright
Crime and Pension Liability Product Manager and Senior Underwriter
Anthony has 15 years’ experience in financial lines insurance, predominantly gained in roles with AIG, Chubb and MPR.
