Argo International has appointed Sarah Nicholls as accident and health claims manager and Judith Fumero as liability claims manager.

Nicholls has more than 20 years of claims experience, joining Argo International after a decade at Ace Group, where she was accident and health claims manager for its European business, working across a network of ten offices across Europe and overseeing relationships with brokers and blue-chip clients.

She has also held senior claims roles at a variety of Lloyd’s brokers and insurers, including Stafford Knight and CIGNA.

Fumero brings more than two decades of claims experience to the team, joining Argo International from Xchanging Claims Services, where she was chief adjuster for financial and professional lines. Prior to her eight years at Xchanging, she held claims roles at Talbot Underwriting, Copenhagen Re and Chiyoda Fire & Marine.

Argo International head of claims Ashley Lawrence said: “Our claims team is known throughout the London market for its superior technical capabilities, particularly on complex claims in a number of our specialist lines. Attracting two such talented claims professionals with over 40 years of experience between them is a reflection of our reputation for quality and innovation. Sarah and Judith join a 12 strong team that is constantly looking for ways to improve claims experience for Argo’s clients and the wider Lloyd’s market.”
