Top Norwegian Hull Club executive David Bellamy has created a buzz in the marine insurance market with his decision to move on after more than two decades with the mutual.

Bellamy is switching from underwriting to broking by joining the Willis Towers Watson (WTW) group as an executive director.

He has spent his entire career at the Bergen-based Norwegian Hull Club and was one of its best-known figures, with connections to shipowners in Norway, the wider Nordic region, Asia Pacific and the Middle East.
