The strong foundation in the London market, with both a long term participation in the Lloyd's market and branch of Navigators Insurance Company, along with the existing six regional offices in Europe and presence in Lloyd's China and Brazil, is evidence of Navigators' commitment to the international insurance market. I look forward to working with my new colleagues to build upon that strong foundation and to enhance the level of service to our insurance brokers and policyholders outside of the United States.”
