Loss adjusting specialist Charles Taylor has announced the dual appointments of Hugh Thacker as global director of aviation and David Boghurst as global managing director of marine.

In addition to these high-profile hirings, the organization has also designated James Godden as global operations director for aviation and marine, tasked with spearheading strategy and fostering operational coherence between these two pivotal transport divisions. Additionally, Godden will oversee client support initiatives to enhance service excellence throughout the company.

Thacker and Boghurst, both of whom have been pivotal in handling complex claims and engaging with high-profile stakeholders in their respective fields, bring extensive experience to their new positions.

Oliver Hutchings, the global managing director of marine & aviation, is set to depart the company by the end of June for a senior position at a global brokerage, ensuring a smooth transition before his departure.

“I am extremely excited to be appointed as Global Managing Director of Aviation and would like to thank Oliver for his assistance over the last few months. Charles Taylor’s global team of professionals brings a wealth of experience and an in-depth knowledge across all aspects of aviation,” Thacker said.

“I am thrilled and honored to take on the role of Global Managing Director of Marine at Charles Taylor. Collaborating with our exceptional team of skilled experts is a privilege, allowing me to combine my passion for the sea with my professional remit,” Boghurst said.
