60 seconds with Ryan Ewing - Development Underwriter

What’s your job role at County
So I’m an underwriter that specialises in commercial business. I’m here to develop our schemes and help brokers and our internal team with placing commercial risks under our delegated authorities.

What difference can you make to clients?
Started in insurance 30 years ago so I think there’s a bit of experience to bring! I’ve also touched on claims so an bring a rounded perspective to policy discussions. Otherwise I’m a stickler for attention to detail!

What’s the next big issue in insurance?
Probably getting over the pandemic and bringing things back to normal. We’re in a hard insurance market and we can help clients make it feel a bit softer or easier to handle.

Where do you call home?
Faringdon in Oxfordshire. I actually come from KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa so a bit of a change of scenery and climate but I do call England home, having been here over 20 years now.

Any pets or pet peeves?
No pets but do miss my dogs. Pet peeves is seeing someone being inconsiderate!

Favourite holiday destination
Haven’t been for so long I struggle to remember! Ireland was good the last time I went as well as a Cornwall trip on my motorbike but actually I quite like staycation or to vacation in the UK.
