Jensten Group is delighted to announce the appointment of Jamie Lewis, Managing Director Bespoke Wholesale, with specific responsibility for City Underwriters. He was previously Head of Commercial Branches at LV and joined City Underwriters in February 2020.

Jamie brings with him almost 30 years of insurance industry experience, working as both a broker and insurer where he has held senior roles within companies including Allianz, AXA and most recently as Head of Commercial Branches at LV.

As Managing Director, Jamie is responsible for the day-to-day running of City Underwriters. He will ensure that our ambitious plans are achieved and will use his passion for relationship management to build successful broker and capacity partnerships.
