Hazel Downes

Meet Hazel, marine and logistics specialist, client‑focused problem solver, and dog lover.

Hazel is our resident freight and shipping expert with a truckload of experience (over 33 years) in marine and logistics insurance alone. She has in-depth knowledge of carriers’ T&Cs and knows everything there is to know about shipping operations for cargo owners and freight forwarders.

“I love advising and helping new business start-ups. The marine and freight industry is complex and companies often aren’t aware of the things that will impact their insurance. Off-the-shelf products don’t tend to cater for this level of complexity, so I prefer to produce bespoke wording to make sure clients are properly covered.”
