Lloyd’s Syndicate A G Dore & Others Syndicate 2526 has introduced a new accident and health (A&H) portfolio for the brokers in the UK.

The portfolio will underwrite personal accident and sickness, as well as travel and medical expenses for both commercial and consumer customers.

The new A&H team is made up of two ex-QBE underwriters, which include line underwriter Mark Gibson.

Joining him will be James Glover, who served as A&H underwriter with QBE European Operations, ACE European Group, Compass Underwriting and RBS Insurance.

Gibson said, ''Distribution for the portfolio will consist of both Lloyd's and non-Lloyd's entities for the first year.''

A G Doré active underwriter Andy Doré said, ''A new line of business like Accident & Health supports our business ambitions for 2013 as well as reinforcing our desire to nurture new talent in a flexible, specialist environment.''
