Insurance Insider Honors ICAT Syndicates 4242, 6123 Active Underwriter Megan McConnell
Broomfield, CO: Insurance Insider announced yesterday the winners for its fifth annual Insider Honours; naming Megan McConnell, Active Underwriter for ICAT Syndicates 4242 and 6123, as the recipient of the prestigious Young Underwriter of the Year honor. The award recognizes McConnell’s performance in delivering strong Syndicate results, highlighted by 25% year-over-year premium growth and a combined ratio of 71% in 2015, among the best in the Lloyd’s market. This recognition comes on the heels of McConnell also winning Reactions Magazine Young Underwriter of the Year award in June.
