The company also confirmed the appointments of Paul Nolan as Head of Financial Lines and Kiran Wignall as Underwriting Manager for Professional Indemnity, both effective immediately.

The launch of the PI proposition, with capacity live from July, reflects Globe’s ambitions to expand into the financial lines market, which will also include future offerings across management liability and financial institutions. The new hires are set to drive this growth and build out the specialist teams needed to support the division’s development.

Nolan will lead the division’s overall underwriting strategy and portfolio management, starting with the rollout of the PI book. He will also be responsible for shaping the broader financial lines strategy and growing teams across key product areas. With more than two decades of underwriting experience in the London market, Nolan has held senior roles at AIG, AGCS, and most recently as Head of Financial Lines at Probitas Syndicate 1492. At Probitas, he led a diversified portfolio with a gross written premium of around £80 million and built a high-performing underwriting team. His market leadership and track record in scaling profitable portfolios will be instrumental in driving Globe’s ambitions in this space.

Wignall also joins from Probitas Syndicate 1492, where he served as Head of PI. With 12 years of experience in specialist underwriting across AGCS and Hiscox, Wignall brings deep expertise in the PI sector. In his new role, he will oversee the underwriting strategy, growth, and profitability of Globe’s PI portfolio, while helping to recruit and develop the wider PI team.

Commenting on his appointment, Nolan said: “Globe is at a dynamic stage in its growth, and the opportunity to build a new financial lines division from the ground up is an incredibly appealing one. Being able to shape the strategy, recruit top talent, and work within such a fast-paced and entrepreneurial environment with a clear mandate for growth is extremely compelling. I’m looking forward to building a strong, collaborative underwriting culture and getting our initial professional indemnity team fully operational.”

The launch of the financial lines division signals Globe Underwriting’s commitment to expanding its specialist capabilities and delivering expert-led, service-driven solutions to meet the evolving needs of brokers and clients.
