Fenchurch, an independent London property insurance broker, has appointed Kingsley Flynn as its new Chairman.

In his new role, Flynn will guide Fenchurch’s US growth strategy, oversee client engagement, and help refine the firm’s client-first approach to placing complicated property risks.

This appointment aims to help with Fenchurch’s expansion in North America. Simultaneously, Flynn has joined the Fenchurch Board as a Non-Executive Director.

Flynn is an industry veteran with five decades of experience spanning across retail broking, specialty insurance, and insurtech.

Most recently, he served as Head of Insurance at Sayata, and prior to this, he spent 15 years at Beazley as part of the US business launch team.

At Beazley, Flynn supported US and London-based underwriting teams expanding their reach into the US market, serving as Head of Broker Relations.

Flynn has also held senior leadership roles at Johnson & Higgins, Marsh McLennan, and Palmer & Cay.

David Price, Chief Executive Officer and Founder, Fenchurch, commented, “This market represents a significant underserved community. Their coverage needs are complex, requiring deep expertise and creativity to secure the right risk solutions for their property holdings and businesses at large.

“Unfortunately, due to always evolving market conditions, business realities, and carrier wariness, they’re left scrambling for the right coverage solutions. Fenchurch addresses their needs with the ‘white glove’ service and data analysis normally reserved for the world’s largest companies.

“Flynn’s career is this story of delivering beyond client expectations, with integrity, and the determined vigour needed to ensure insureds can sleep well. We’re thrilled to have him guiding our next chapter.”

Flynn added, “David and our team have extensive experience working with Fortune 500 clients. They are translating that level of service to mid-market players, who often have difficulty finding the right insurance solutions at the right cost.

“Further, they’re including all parties in the placement process – insured, broker, and carrier – as true partners in the common goal of reducing risk and lowering financial burden. This new era of service and partnership is something I’m eager to expand within the North American market.”
