Capsicum Re has bolstered its London property and specialty teams with two new hires.

Ed Le Flufy has joined the firm as a speciality broker, focusing on cyber business. He moves over from BMS, where he most recently served as divisional director of its global reinsurance team, having begun his career with the broker on its graduate scheme before moving onto a number of senior positions with the company.

In his new role, Le Flufy will report to global head of cyber, Ian Newman.

Meanwhile, Piers English has joined Capsicum Re as a treaty reinsurance broker, reporting to Patrick Sheehy, specialty casualty partner.

English arrives from Accenture, where he was a management consultant in the London market insurance division. Prior to this, he was a casualty treaty broker at Willis Re for four years.

Newman said: “Rapid technological evolution is making the possibility of a marketplace consisting of three core classes – property, casualty and cyber (PC&C) – ever more likely. In preparation, we continue to bring on exceptional talent of Ed and Piers’ calibre to bolster our capabilities, as we help clients navigate the new risks they face.”

Sheehy added: “I am delighted to welcome Piers to the team. His extensive knowledge of casualty treaty will complement the skills of our existing team, as we help clients around the world prepare for the risks of the future.”
