American Club Circular No. 05/13 1 FEBRUARY 15, 2013 CIRCULAR NO. 05/13 TO MEMBERS OF THE ASSOCIATION Dear Member: MANAGEMENT NEWS Your Managers are pleased to announce recent appointments at Shipowners Claims Bureau, Inc. Colin Snell has been recruited to SCB’s underwriting department to support the Club’s European and North American business. An English lawyer by training, Colin has extensive experience of the P&I industry, having earlier occupied senior posts with other major International Group clubs in London and New York. As Vice President, working closely with Stuart Todd and his colleagues, Colin’s responsibilities will reflect his broad international experience, together with his local knowledge of the US market. Tony Smith has also joined SCB as Vice President and Principal Surveyor. Tony’s duties will extend to those previously undertaken by John Poulson, who has moved into a more generalist role at Atlantic Marine Associates, Inc., a sister company of SCB. However, in that role, John’s services nevertheless remain fully at the disposal of the Club and its Members. Tony brings a wealth of experience to his new position. Following several years of distinguished service at sea, he has had a long and successful career in the world of marine surveying and consultancy since coming ashore, most recently as a senior surveyor at GL Noble Denton in New York. His many qualifications include accreditation as an ISM/ISPS auditor. These appointments add strength to the Manager’s capabilities in key areas of service to the American Club membership. Your Managers feel sure that Members will join in wishing our new recruits every success in the service of the Club over the months and years to come. Yours faithfully, Joseph E.M. Hughes, Chairman & CEO Shipowners Claims Bureau, Inc., Managers for THE AMERICAN CLUB
