Lee Knight Senior Underwriter, Marine

Lee is Senior Marine Underwriter at Specialty MGA UK and deals with all classes of marine (re)insurance.
Lee has over 20 years of international, London market and Lloyd’s experience predominantly as an Underwriter. Lee’s (re)insurance experience extends to all marine sectors. Lee has previously worked as a Chief Marine Underwriter at Sompo. Over the last ten years, a sizeable proportion of his work specialised in Marine Liabilities (incl. Port & terminal risks), Hull & Machinery (Brown Water), Cargo, and Transport and Logistics.
Lee has considerable experience of handling and underwriting risks (of all types of coverages and value) that are factually and technically complex or which have required him to become familiar with new areas of insurance (recently marine related cyber insurance). Lee is known for being approachable and believes in working as a team with producing and wholesale brokers and/or providing a leading (or supporting) role in underwriting technically challenging risks that have an international (cross jurisdictional) angle to them.
Lee holds an LL.B, & BA Philosophy from Birbeck, University of London and a BA (Hons) Architecture from the University of Greenwich.
