Tuesday, February 24, 2026
London, 24 February 2026: Tokio Marine Kiln (TMK), a leading specialist insurer, has appointed George Leahy as an Underwriter in its Liability division, further bolstering its underwriting capability as it continues to scale one of the largest and most established International General Liability books in the Lloyd’s market. Leahy reports to Oliver Delaney, Departmental Head of Liability.
Leahy brings eight years of casualty underwriting experience, most recently from Sompo International where he specialised in International Casualty business with a focus on heavy industries, overseeing the day-to-day management of mid-sized to major clients across Canada and Australia. Prior to this, he spent five years at Ascot Underwriting, developing expertise in Construction, Energy and Mining across Canada, Australia, Europe and Latin America.
Leahy’s appointment follows the recent promotion of Oliver Delaney to lead TMK’s Liability division, marking another step in the company’s strategy to cement its role as a market leader in the class.
Oliver Delaney, Departmental Head of Liability at TMK, said:
“George is a strong addition to our Liability team. His extensive technical grounding in international casualty, particularly across complex, heavy-industry sectors, coupled with his proven understanding of the Lloyd’s market, will support our continued expansion and strengthen our underwriting capability. His experience across multiple geographies and distribution channels will be instrumental as we pursue our growth ambitions, maintain exceptional service for brokers and clients, and build on our market leading position."
