Tysers, a leading insurance brokerage, has announced the appointment of Jack Cooper as a director within its cargo team in the marine and aviation division. Cooper, with over 15 years of market experience, specializes in cargo insurance and has held senior roles at firms such as Consilium Insurance Brokers and Alesco Risk Management Services.
The move comes at a time when the marine insurance industry is experiencing significant change. According to Tysers’ December 2025 update, premium rates for 2026 renewals are increasing by an average of 6%, with container vessel rates rising by 15%. These adjustments reflect ongoing volatility driven by large claims and reinsurance structural changes.
Strategic Expansion Amid Market Challenges
Craig Cox, joint deputy managing director for marine and aviation at Tysers, emphasized Cooper's expertise, stating, "His sector knowledge and dedication to client service make him a valuable addition to our team." The firm’s recent hires, including Marlena Truszczynska and William Lines, illustrate its ongoing commitment to strengthening its operations across broking and claims functions.
"The marine market remains dynamic, with rate adjustments and risk management evolving rapidly," said Cox. "Our team’s enhanced expertise will support clients navigating these changes."
Overall, Tysers’ recruitment efforts aim to reinforce its market position amid changing industry conditions, offering tailored solutions and expert insights to its clients in the global cargo and marine sectors.
