Who is Bishop Skinner Marine?
Simply put, we're super-specialists in boat insurance. We share our clients’ passion for boats of all shapes and sizes. We’re also passionate about sharing our specialist knowledge with clients and finding them the cover they need. From small crafts, dinghies, windsurfs and motorboats to yachts and even super-yachts – our policies are specially designed to meet the unique needs of our clients.
We always aim to provide outstanding customer service to every client, no matter what vessel they own. We actively listen and respond to client feedback and we’re always looking to invest in our colleagues’ development, technology and business processes.
Now more than ever, families and individuals are finding solace in sailing the oceans and waterways. The challenges of the pandemic, plastic waste and climate change have raised awareness and participation to record levels. This presents new and exciting opportunities for our team to support and enable our clients to share in these pleasures, whilst being protected and safe.

Hannah Muir
Development Director
I’ve always had a strong affinity with water sports, a passion passed down to me from my father. I am a proud member of Salcombe Estuary Rowing Club, enjoying the water in any weather Gig rowing in the estuary. When not rowing, we love nothing more as a family than to head to the beaches on our RIB.
I have many years of retail insurance experience, with a background of leading teams and supporting private clients with their complex insurance requirements. I combine my love for water sports with my passion for providing great customer service to help our clients protect the assets that are most important to them, giving them the freedom to enjoy the water.

Hannah Bristow
Team Leader
Snorkelling and stand-up paddle boarding is how I enjoy my time on the water.
With a strong background in customer service and marine insurance, I love speaking with our customers regularly and ensuring they’re confident with our service and expertise.
James Grange
Client Manager
I am passionate about providing good service, and reviewing and acting on client feedback from Feefo. I love being part of the Bishop Skinner Marine team and working together to produce the best outcomes for our clients. In my spare time I enjoy being outdoors with family and friends. My hobbies include cricket, golf, holidays around the Norfolk Broads and Suffolk coast. I also enjoy spending time on my father-in-law’s narrow boat when possible.
Lorna Evans
Client Executive
I’ve worked in the marine insurance industry for many years, as both an underwriter and a broker. Whether our clients own their boat for pleasure or have a business in the marine industry, I enjoy using my extensive experience and knowledge of the market to find a competitive quote with the right cover.
Liz Adams
Client Executive
I thoroughly enjoy sailing my Dehler 34 and generally being around water in my spare time. This passion allows me to connect with our clients, understand their needs and arrange the right protection.
With a wealth of experience in both marine trades and vessel insurance I enjoy being there to support clients with their often-complex insurance requirements.
I believe that in an ever-changing insurance market, risk management and advice are critical in getting the insurance programme right for our clients.
