Australasia Underwriting (AUPL), a complex property and liability specialist, has welcomed Derek Harding to its underwriting leadership team.

Harding has decades of underwriting leadership experience in Lloyd’s and across three continents, AUPL said.

“Derek’s appointment is another step in our mission to bring human-centered expertise into the marketplace,” said AUPL managing director Alan Mackay. “Harnessing expert underwriting, and giving our brokers immediate access to that, is a fundamental component of our proposition. It’s what makes us different.

“Derek shares that ethos, and we look forward to his contribution to the leadership team.”

New underwriting role

In his new role at AUPL, Harding will lead technical underwriting to widen the product offering within the Lloyd’s Coverholder’s existing property and general liability sectors.

“I’m excited to join a business that aligns with my values of how to do business – with integrity, wisdom, and a healthy dose of fun,” Harding said. “I was attracted to the role due to AUPL’s solutions-first approach and desire for innovation to meet the changing needs of its customers.”
