Russell Mason
Senior Aerospace Broker at Ed Broking LLP

John and I worked together at Marsh in London from 2004 to 2011, and I have therefore had the pleasure of knowing him for 17 years, to date. In recent years, John has been working closely with FEIC, sharing a wealth of knowledge with our team, in areas such as Compliance, Policy Wordings and ensuring our market contract documentation meets strict London standards. John is a very conscientious and reliable person, and excellent trainer and mentor both in person and virtually. It’s a pleasure to know John and I would highly recommend him.

Ben Brett
Director / Owner at FEIC (Asia) Limited

I have known John for 25 years and we have done business together when he was at Xchanging in Folkestone and Chatham. I was John’s line manager when we both worked at Nelson Hurst Aviation Limited (which subsequently became Alexander Forbes). John was an Account Executive who primary responsibility was for the servicing of the direct Australian business. This included issuing documentation such as Cover Notes, Certificates, Debit/Credit Note and Policy Wordings. John discussed and negotiated any issues raised by our clients and would be in regular contact with them, working closely with our broking team. I would say John is a motivated individual whether working within a team or as an individual and has a good overall knowledge of aviation insurance.

I have worked with John recently at Hayward Aviation. He is always willing to help others and to grow his own industry knowledge. He was especially proactive and helpful in a teaching role to younger brokers, helping them with wordings and coverage issues. John is a motivated individual, he has a very good knowledge of aviation insurance and is an extremely pleasant person and colleague.

I have known John for 20+ years through his time at CT Bowring, Marsh and more recently Travelers. John bought a wealth of Aviation knowledge to Travelers, specialising in Wordings and Compliance, which was invaluable to the Underwriters. I would say that John is a very conscientious and reliable person, who is also very meticulous. It’s a pleasure to know John and I would highly recommend him.

Michelle Aldridge

John’s standard of work and knowledge of Aviation Wordings and Clauses was exemplary during his time with Travelers Syndicate 5000 and he was at all times a pleasure to work with. My involvement with him was predominantly in Aviation but he has other line of business skills to add to the mix. He also engaged well with in-house training needs in the Technical Solutions area, both developing training and leading courses. I would highly recommend him as a knowledgeable and personable addition to any Technical Solutions team.
