Liberty Specialty Markets (LSM), part of the Liberty Mutual Insurance Group, has announced the promotions of Kerry Hall and Richard Wheeler within its specialty binders team in London, effectively immediately.

Hall becomes underwriting manager for property while Wheeler becomes senior business and strategic development underwriter. Both were previously senior underwriters in Liberty Specialty Markets’ property binders team.
