Rokstone has officially launched its UK and Ireland Commercial division as part of the next phase in our global growth strategy, appointing Lewis Goodearl as Portfolio Manager and Head of the new division.
With more than 30 years of experience in Casualty underwriting, Lewis brings exceptional depth of market knowledge and leadership to Rokstone. He joins us from Convex, where he served as Senior Underwriter for five years, following senior roles at AXA XL, Catlin and Liberty Mutual.
A Strategic Step in Rokstone’s Growth
The launch marks a significant milestone for Rokstone as we broaden our global Casualty offering into new markets, following the successful launch of our US Casualty operation in late 2024.
Backed by A rated Lloyd’s capacity, Rokstone’s UK and Ireland Commercial appetite includes:
Employers’ Liability
Public and Products Liability
Contractors All Risks (CAR)
Property
The division will focus on providing a technical, service-led underwriting proposition across complex risks and delegated portfolios, offering brokers a reliable, innovative partner with the scale and flexibility of a global platform.
Experienced Leadership
Commenting on the appointment, Ian Anson, Global CEO at Rokstone, said, “Lewis is incredibly well known and respected in the market. Expanding our Casualty operations is a core part of our strategy for sound diversification, and this new launch reinforces our commitment to building balanced and sustainable growth across multiple regions.”
This latest launch continues to grow our reach, providing brokers in the UK and Ireland with direct access to specialist capacity, trusted expertise and the strength of Rokstone’s global infrastructure.
