Specialist (re)insurance broker Miller has appointed two professional indemnity specialists Paddy Synnott and Joe Newbury, as part of its growth strategy into the UK professions market.

In a recent press release, Miller states that Synnott and Newbury’s understanding of the UK Professions market and Professional Indemnity business will strengthen the team’s commitment to delivering market-leading, innovative risk transfer solutions.

Their strong knowledge of the UK Professional Indemnity market will strengthen our team’s capabilities and our ability to offer clients tailored solutions. In the current hard market, clients need to be able to rely on their brokers to support them – these new hires respond to that and confirm Miller’s ongoing commitment to excellent client service.”
