John McGonigle is the Chief Underwriting Officer at Novus Underwriting. His main responsibilities include the profitable development and management of the warranty and consumer products portfolio underwritten on behalf of Novus’ capacity partners.

He has worked within the insurance industry since early 1991, mainly within the London market (both company and Lloyd’s). His focus since 1997 has been on the underwriting of warranty and associated consumer insurance products, both in the UK and on an international basis.

Outside of work he has undertaken a number of personal and team challenges for charity, including rowing the English Channel, riding the off-road London to Brighton route and climbing the three peaks.

“The opportunity for me to join Novus came at a perfect time - despite the product lines written delivering consistent underwriting returns, appetite in the London market is limited and these past few years has become scarcer with carriers pushing more capacity away and into trying to improve results from more traditional lines of business. Brokers and clients need to be confident that their underwriting partner is committed to supporting their business over the long term, and for me it was clear that Novus delivers.”

Grant McMorrow is a senior underwriter at Novus Underwriting. Grant specialises in sourcing, underwriting and managing multiple product lines across the broad spectrum of ‘specialist consumer products’ for our various capacity partners, focusing predominantly on warranty style business.

Grant previously worked within the Lloyd’s market, working for multiple managing agencies spanning the last 13 years. In that time he helped manage and develop multiple key relationships in the warranty space – helping the book to grow to one of the largest within Lloyd’s.

Outside of work Grant has a young family, but when time allows he enjoys playing and watching multiple sports, as well as walking his beloved dog.

“The opportunity to join Novus, and to work in an environment that not only places our specific class of business front and centre, but also provides the core support framework needed for our business partners was simply too good an opportunity to ignore.”
