Breaking Ground in Aviation Insurance: Rokstone's Skyward Leap

Fasten your seatbelts and prepare for takeoff because Rokstone is thrilled to announce the launch of our Global Aviation division, backed by Allianz Commercial capacity.

Headlining this initiative is none other than Jordan Lanford - Rokstone’s Head of Global Aviation.

A Pioneer in Aviation Insurance

With over two decades flying through the realm of aviation insurance, Jordan brings unparalleled expertise, honed at AIG, where he steered the Aerospace division across North America.

Based in the bustling city of Atlanta, Georgia, Jordan’s mission at Rokstone is nothing short of sky-high: to cultivate and propel the Global Aviation team forward. Initially, the team will focus on launching the US business and will provide oversight and additional support for the International portfolio.

Charting a Strategic Flight Path

Joining Jordan, the recent appointments of Carson Lyons, Chris Latta, and James Lascelles mark a pivotal moment for Rokstone’s Aviation division - now comprising some of the best aviation underwriting talent in the US.

The team will witness rapid growth, with plans to recruit additional underwriters over the next 12 months.

Our flight plan is ambitious, yet precise, with an immediate focus on North America’s SMEs and the vibrant consumer segment, including:

• Piston Pleasure and Business (owned and non-owned)

• Owner flown and light commercial, industrial aid and municipal aircraft

• Unmanned aircraft

• Commercial General Liability

Unveiling Rokstone’s Aviation Arsenal

But what sets us apart, you ask? Rokstone’s Global Aviation portfolio is not just another contender in the market.

Digital transformation is our co-pilot, guiding us into a sphere of unparalleled agility. Our service level elevates us to altitudes of excellence and our Quote and Bind platform makes for a seamless journey into the future of insurance.

CEO of Rokstone, James Potter said, “Our specialist knowledge, use of technology, and our disciplined approach to underwriting means we protect our capacity collaborations long term and provide excellent returns for our capacity providers.”

A Bright Future

As we grow our footprint in the United States, Jordan is one of the most experienced underwriters in the aviation space and is well known in the North American market.

Combined with the extensive industry experience brought by Carson, Chris, and James, the team will help Rokstone anticipate and address the evolving needs of the industry.
