A new London Market committee for construction and engineering claims professionals has been established by the International Underwriting Association (IUA). The group will meet regularly providing a formal discussion forum for company representatives. It will promote good practice, host educational presentations and share industry insights.
Joe Shaw, Senior Underwriting and Claims Executive at the IUA, said: “Our Construction and Engineering Claims Committee offers an exciting opportunity for IUA members to focus in detail on claims issues within the London company market.
“There has already been much interest from firms active in this class of business and the group will perform an important networking and career development function.”
The first full meeting of the Construction and Engineering Claims Committee will take place on Wednesday 12 February. The IUA already operates more than 40 market groups covering underwriting, claims, public policy, digital transformation and social responsibility issues. Previously, construction and engineering topics were addressed by the association’s Property Claims Group, but members agreed there is a wide enough agenda for a separate committee to be established.
