Chubb has made two senior appointments to its United Kingdom & Ireland Casualty team. Ben Campey has been appointed London Corporate Casualty Manager, while Chris Templeton becomes UK&I Construction Casualty Manager.

Campey will be responsible for leading and growing Chubb’s London Middle Market casualty portfolio, working alongside business development managers and other lines of business. He will report to Emma Bartolo, Corporate Regional Manager, London.

Previously, Campey was Casualty Underwriting Manager for Manchester and joined Chubb in 2018. Before that worked at QBE in a variety of casualty roles in both the UK and Australia.

The promotion of Chris Templeton, meanwhile, means he will now be responsible for developing Chubb’s construction casualty specialism across the UK&I. He will also support the wider business to grow construction casualty globally outside North America.

Templeton, who was previously Executive Underwriter for Chubb’s London casualty team, brings nearly 20 years of insurance experience to the role. He joined Chubb in 2003 as an Assistant Underwriter before moving to the casualty team in 2007. He will report to Alexander Forman, UK&I Casualty Manager.
