Amwins Global Risks

Change is good! That's why we're highlighting changes in roles here at Amwins Global Risks that have allowed our colleagues to develop in their careers. Following Zach Antoniou, the next story we have to share is Chloe Thompson's 👇 Chloe started on the UK Motor Fleet team as a Technician back in 2018, then progressed to handling smaller renewal accounts as she got more experienced over time. Chloe was doing great work, but she realised how natural it felt to connect and communicate with people, so became curious about honing those skills from a different side of the business. She is now a Senior Business Assistant, playing a crucial part in all coordination and client relationship management.

Congratulations to our colleague, Elaine Jenkins, on reaching 30 years of service at the company. Thank you for all that you do, we're lucky to have you! #EmployeeMilestones

It’s important to us that our employees feel satisfied in their roles, to ensure they’re developing new skills and gaining experiences that allow them to grow both professionally and as people. Following Harriet Boulding's story about transferring, we have Zach Antoniou's journey from Finance in our Group Support Team to broking for the AGR Marine team. Zach has been at AGR since 2017. Starting as a Finance Business Partner, he enjoyed working closely with brokers and collaborating across teams. After some time, Zach received feedback that he’d make a good broker himself, and by the summer of 2023 realised he was interested in exploring this side of the business. Fast forward a few years, he now sits on the Marine team, continuing to develop his people skills and technical knowledge of broking, and happy he made the role change now that he's settled in it.

Our colleague, Gabriel Ewing, will be in New York for the Professional Liability Underwriting Society's Transactional Risk Symposium on 24th March. Get in touch with him if you’re going to be there! #PLUS #TransactionalRisk #InsuranceIndustry #ProfessionalLiabilityUnderwritingSociety

Here at Amwins Global Risks, we’re proud of the opportunities we offer our team. Just like we do for our clients, we work with our employees to find a solution that’s right for them. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing the stories of some of our team members who’ve stayed at Amwins but gone through a transition – whether it’s a new role or team, a new city or country, or a change to working pattern. The first story we'd like to share is Harriet Boulding's 👇 Harriet is a Senior Associate Broker for the Professional Lines team at Amwins' Chicago office. She previously worked in the Professional & Financial Risks division at AGR, but realised she was craving an exciting change in scenery, as she had previously lived and worked abroad, and loved the experience. She was able get a transfer to the US, as she emphasised how much she loved the culture at Amwins, and that even though she wanted to leave the country, she didn't want to leave the company.

Happy work anniversary to our colleague, Mercedes Cooper, who’s just reached 25 years of service at the company. Thanks for everything you do for AGR and our clients! #EmployeeMilestones

The Insurance Institute of Cheltenham & Gloucester’s Annual Dinner is always a fabulous evening, and this year’s – held last Friday at Manor By The Lake – was no exception. Featuring delicious food, a touching story from the institute’s chosen charity, the Great Western Air Ambulance Charity (GWAAC), a fundraising raffle, and even singing waiters, it was an event we won’t forget in a hurry! We were proud to be there as principal sponsors, and to support our incredible colleagues, Lawrence Tonner ACII, current president of the institute, and Noemi Priday, who will take over the reins from him in April. Thank you to Lawrence, Noemi and all involved for all their hard work organising the event, to the other sponsors, and to everyone who bought raffle tickets to support GWAAC, raising over £2,600! We hope you enjoyed the evening, and see you next year! Pro Global PoloWorks Ecclesiastical Insurance UK #GreatWesternAirAmbulance #InsuranceInstituteofCheltenhamandGloucester #CII

Last week, we held two fantastic events to celebrate International Women's Day 2025 – one in our London office on Thursday and one in our Cheltenham office on Friday. We did things a bit differently this year, with some speed networking, which gave attendees the chance to speak with various senior women around the business. It was wonderful to see so many people taking advantage of the opportunity, discussing the challenges and barriers they've each experienced as women in the workforce. Check out the quotes below from some of the women who spoke; we love hearing their insights! Thank you to those who attended – we hope you got some great learnings out of the events 💜 A big thank you must also go to the incredible women who shared their time, wisdom and guidance, especially Lindsey Davies, Lisa Pegram, Natalie W., Fern Voss, Lynda Williams, Emma V. and Sasha Kerridge. It was an invaluable discussion for everyone involved! #IWD2025 #InternationalWomensDay #WomeninInsurance

On Tuesday, we held our second annual Underwriting Away Day for the Unicorn Underwriting Limited, Contour Underwriting, and Amwins Amplify teams at Sopwell House. The weather was gorgeous, and the event struck a great balance of work and play, including: ✍️ Reviewing our capabilities 📊 Discussing our 2025 underwriting priorities and long-term planning 🔑 Sharing key takeaways from our underwriting experts 🙌 Introducing new members on the #Contour team to their fellow Amwins Underwriting International colleagues 🤝 Team building activities on Sopwell House’s beautiful grounds We certainly fit a lot into a day, but as full on as it was, we’re already looking forward to next year! #Underwriting #Insurance #SopwellHouse

We chatted with some of our recent graduates, Emily Keen, Alpine Umutoni, Romeo Grano and Jonny Burrell, about what made them choose Amwins Global Risks to kickstart their careers in insurance.
