London insurance broker, Evolin Broking Limited, has announced the launch of a new construction division.
Steve Downing has been appointed head of construction, based in London and reporting to managing director, Chris Baulf.
Downing will build out the firm’s construction offering, which includes construction all risks, erection all risks, builders’ risk, delay in start-up and third-party liability, complementing Evolin’s existing liability offering.
He brings more than three decades of industry experience to the role, including as a senior vice president at Lockton and a director at Willis.
Downing’s most recent role was at Miller Insurance Services, where he held the position of account executive, leading the international construction team.
He said: “Evolin has seen considerable growth in 2024, with the addition of its casualty division as well as new facilities for its clients.
“Establishing and leading the new construction division is a great opportunity, and I look forward to working with Chris and the rest of his team to continue supporting the company’s growth trajectory.”
Rebranded from GAWS of London in 2024, Evolin is an independent London market wholesale insurance broker and coverholder approved by Lloyd’s of London.
Baulf said: “We see immense opportunity in the construction sector. With Steve’s expertise and network, we can build an exceptional team and offering, continuing to adapt to our clients’ needs and the evolving risk landscape. I look forward to working with Steve to bring best-in-class construction solutions to market.”
