XPT Specialty, a wholesale broker for commercial and personal insurance, has announced the appointment of Liam Sole as Associate Vice President/Senior Underwriter of its Commercial Lines Division.
His areas of specialty include habitational, construction, hotels and motels, restaurants and bars, mixed-use buildings, manufacturing, distributors, and vacant properties.
Sole has cultivated a broad skillset across the property and casualty risks sector within the excess and surplus lines market, accumulating over 11 years of experience.
Joining from XPT, where he previously worked at Bass Underwriters, focused on developing expertise in commercial underwriting. Over his tenure, starting as an Underwriting Assistant in 2014, he progressed steadily, becoming a Junior Underwriter and then a Commercial Underwriter.
His practical experience in risk evaluation and extensive knowledge of the Excess and Surplus (E&S) market established him as a reliable partner for retail collaborators, XPT Specialty stated.
“Liam’s background is exactly what we look for — someone who has grown within the E&S space and understands the nuances of underwriting complex commercial risks,” said Gregg Guerreiro, Regional EVP. “We’re eager to have him on board as we continue building out our capabilities on the East Coast.”
“XPT Specialty’s reputation for strong market relationships and client-focused service made this an easy decision,” said Sole. “I’m looking forward to collaborating and applying what I’ve learned over the past decade to help our retail partners place business in a market that demands both expertise and creativity.”
