Asteron's new underwriter

Asteron has appointed Errol Timmins as principal underwriter in its Auckland underwriting team.

"Errol has huge underwriting experience and has also spent time as an adviser, so is familiar with all facets of the business," Asteron chief underwriter Kim Harrison says.

"His joining our company strengthens Asteron’s Auckland underwriting team. He is widely known and respected throughout the industry."

Timmins will join the two underwriters already in Auckland and head the team for an area that is the source of much of the recent growth in business volumes.
