In 2010 Christopher moved back to London and joined Barbican Synidicate 1955 within Lloyd’s of London. He built on his experiences to create a new marine portfolio becoming known for underwriting not only “run-of-the-mill” risks, but also the risks that were perhaps more esoteric in nature such as tow and voyage risks for vessels sent for recycling.

Following successful results form building portfolios, he joined Talisman Specialty UK Limited and Talisman Specialty Europe GmbH as Managing Director Marine to take these portfolios into a captive cell.
