Specialist insurer Ecclesiastical has announced the appointment of Chris Lynwood as technical casualty manager.

Lynwood leaves behind Capita, where he held the same position, to join Ecclesiastical.

He brings over three decades of experience in the insurance industry to his new post, including 10 years spent in the liability claims sector.

In his new role Lynwood will be based at the firm’s regional underwriting centre in Manchester.

Concurrently Ecclesiastical is to bolster its casualty claims capability through the creation of a casualty centre of excellence, also to be located in Manchester.

David Bonehill, claims manager, explained that liability risks are becoming an ever more important part of the firm’s business and as such Ecclesiastical was taking the steps necessary to strengthen its capabilities in the liability department.
