Bermuda-based Catlin Group Ltd. has boosted its aviation underwriting team in Paris and London.

The team will be headed up by new arrival Alain Burguiere, who will join Catlin in September from Paris-based aviation underwriting specialist La Reunion Aerienne where he was head of the underwriting team.

Three new recruits will join the team's London office. Antoine Lamy has joined the aviation underwriting team, along with Peter Buckley, from Lloyd's operation Beaufort Underwriting Agency Ltd. David Hart will join as aviation wordings and technical support manager.
