Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Insurance (BHSI) announced it has opened an office in Perth, Western Australia, naming Anthony Prindiville to lead its casualty underwriting and Mark Shepard to lead property underwriting there.

“Expanding our footprint into Western Australia will enhance our ability to build lasting relationships with brokers and customers throughout the country,” said Chris Colahan, president, Australasia. “We are pleased to have Anthony and Mark at the helm as we build our local team in Perth. We look forward to developing a full suite of insurance products, risk management and claims services in this region.”

Like the BHSI offices in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, BHSI’s Perth office will underwrite casualty, property, mining, energy, construction, power, marine, transport and logistics, healthcare liability, accident and health, and executive and professional lines for a broad range of business segments.

Prindiville comes to BHSI with over 30 years of insurance industry experience, most recently as global distribution manager at Chubb Insurance Australia Ltd. He holds a senior associate designation from the Australian and New Zealand Institute of Insurance and Finance (ANZIIF).
