West of England picks new claims handler in Greece
The West of England P&I Club, a mutual marine insurer, has appointed a new claims handler, Lucie Ryan. She will be based in the club’s Greek office which has just celebrated its 50th anniversary. Ryan has a degree in consumer marketing from Manchester Metropolitan University and, for ten years, worked at Clyde & Co’s Piraeus office, where she qualified as a legal executive and gained extensive experience in admiralty.
More recently Ryan, who is a fluent Greek speaker, was employed by another international group club, handling P&I claims for its Greek members. This new appointment will further strengthen the Greek office which currently handles claims for approximately one quarter of the club’s members.
Ian Clarke, head of claims & regional director (Hellas), said: “We are delighted that Ryan has joined the office to enhance our claims service provision. She brings particular strength to the “wet” side of our work and will be handling a wide variety of P&I and FD&D claims.” (mw)
