Lena is our CEO and has a genuine passion for the marine industry. With over 20 of her 37 years in insurance dedicated to underwriting and servicing clients in the marine industry she is ideally suited to lead our business. Although she started her working life as an underwriter for a major insurer, she spent much of her career working for a specialist marine broker, working her way up from an Account Handler to Managing Director. Lena has been described as annoyingly positive and by one of her clients as being able to inject fun into insurance, which is no mean feat! Both attributes sum up her enthusiasm for the industry she works in and fuels her determination to make ProMarine a leading marine specialist provider. When she is not working Lena likes to travel anywhere in the world, preferably on foot!

Like Lena, Simon shares a passion for the marine industry which makes him ideal to fulfil the role of our Chief Commercial Officer. Simon started his career as an underwriter for a major insurer before joining a specialist marine broker 28 years ago. After several years in a client facing role travelling around the country assisting clients with their marine portfolios, Simon turned his hand to underwriting again, eventually becoming Marine Director. Drawing on the breadth of his experience he is well placed to help grow and diversify our marine offering. Simon thrives on writing new business and client relationships, so he is perfectly matched in his role. He can combine these aspects with a thoughtful and intelligent approach to underwriting, protecting both our clients and insurers alike. Simon is a seriously talented photographer and can often be found out of hours stalking the local wildlife!

Mark is our Chief Underwriting Officer, a role he was born to undertake! Whilst Mark has had a varied career in insurance over the last 35 years, he has found his niche in marine underwriting. He has spent the last 16 years working at a specialist marine broker where he established himself as the head of marine underwriting. With a proven track record of profitable underwriting, producing infrastructure and procedural improvements to increase efficiency and profitability, he is the perfect addition to the ProMarine team. Mark considers himself to be the guardian of our binder and is a hard man to convince if he does not believe a risk is suitable for our policy! A very reassuring attribute for our insurers! In his spare time, Mark can turn his hand to just about anything, but his main passions are cars and tech!

Jeremy is one of our Client Directors and is perfectly suited to his role. With over 33 years in insurance, he is extremely experienced and having spent the last 20 years working for a specialist marine broker, he is the ideal representative of our business. He looks after the northern part of the U.K from Birmingham to the tip of Shetland and he will find his way to any client within his area. Jeremy has made listening to his clients an art form and is intent on ensuring that this is reflected in the insurance protection they are afforded. He has spent much of his career looking after Scotland and once said he gets to do the job he loves in one of the most spectacular places he has had the privilege to see! In fact, he loves the area, and one of its residents so much, he decided to move to the Isle of Skye!

 Jeremy doesn’t mind that it rains quite a bit on the West coast of Scotland, as he has a keen interest in films and is always able to recommend an enjoyable read!

Judy was made for the role of Client Director! She has a passionate interest in people and finds talking to our clients and learning all about their businesses genuinely fascinating. She can often be heard recounting stories of various marine processes that she has learnt about on her travels! Combine this intense interest with over 18 years working for a specialist marine broker and she is ideally suited to protect the interests of our clients. Judy looks after the south of the U.K and relishes life out on the road. The more people she can talk to the more stories she can tell and the more successful she considers her latest adventure. Judy prides herself on delivering the best service possible and is always prepared to go the extra mile and in her case, that is often an exceptionally long way! Judy loves to travel often preferring to walk to ensure she gets the most out of wherever she finds herself.
