Antares Global, a specialist Lloyd’s syndicate known for providing tailored marine, aviation, and property insurance solutions, has strengthened its leadership team with the promotion of Andy Bridgwood and Chris Early to joint Class Cargo Underwriters.

Glynn said: “I am delighted to announce that both Andy and Chris have been promoted to Class Cargo Underwriter and will oversee the Antares cargo book together.
“Since the foundation of the syndicate, cargo has been at the heart of our Marine offering, and we are truly proud of the reputation and relationships built over the years. With these promotions, we look forward to continuing to service our longstanding clients and new trading partners alike.
“Chris and Andy exemplify Antares’ commitment to identifying and nurturing talented individuals. They have proven to be experts in their field, and I am certain they will excel in continuing to grow this core class of business.”
Bridgwood became part of Antares in April 2022, bringing with him 15 years of expertise in cargo underwriting. He started his career at Tokio Marine Europe Insurance in 2010, where he spent nine years handling cargo, freight liability, and subsea risks, before joining Generali for three years to focus exclusively on cargo insurance.
Early joined Antares in March 2025 as a Cargo Underwriter, with a decade of experience in the insurance and underwriting industry. His background includes five years at Starstone Insurance, as well as roles at AIG and Apollo, where he specialised in cargo coverage.
