David Bell

London, United Kingdom

David Bell is the official Head of Aviation for Lockton Re, listed on the firm's Aviation & Aerospace page with direct business email and phone. Public sources support a strong reinsurance profile: global aviation treaty and excess of loss programs, satellite business, major North American placements, MGA/pool reinsurance, aviation retro, and space reinsurance. The record should be treated as a reinsurance brokerage profile, not a retail aircraft insurance broker profile.
