Prestige Underwriting promotes Katy Peacock to Head of Home, Product and Governance

19.01.26

Prestige Underwriting is thrilled to announce the promotion of Katy Peacock to the role of Head of Home, Product and Governance. Peacock joined Prestige Underwriting in 2015 and has over 20 years of experience in personal lines underwriting. 

In her new role, Peacock will oversee the development and governance of Prestige’s home insurance portfolio, ensuring robust underwriting rigour and the delivery of market-leading home products in nonstandard. She will work closely with Charlotte Baker and Emma Attfield, who will support her in leading the Home Underwriting team. 

Baker, previously Property Underwriting Team Leader, now serves as Underwriting Manager, while Attfield has moved from her Schemes Manager role to become Product Manager. Together, they will further strengthen Prestige’s home underwriting proposition for brokers and the wider market.

Alison Williams, Managing Director of Prestige Underwriting, commented: 
“Katy’s promotion is richly deserved. She has been a key part of our underwriting team for many years, and I am excited to see her progress the Home Underwriting team further. Katy’s expertise and proactive leadership will drive the team forward, enhancing our support to brokers and delivering continued growth in the nonstandard home insurance market.”

Katy Peacock commented: 
“I’m excited to be taking on this role and I plan to take our home underwriting offering from strength to strength. My focus is on further developing our home insurance products and governance to support our broker partners and the wider market. I look forward to building on our success – strengthening our home underwriting portfolio and delivering even more value for brokers and customers.”

Peacock’s career spans over two decades in the insurance industry. She previously served as Technical Underwriting Manager at Prestige, where she managed the company’s home insurance products across all regions. In that role she also oversaw underwriting processes and product governance, ensuring that Prestige’s home portfolio met regulatory standards and broker needs. This extensive experience has equipped her with a deep understanding of nonstandard home insurance and the needs of the broker market.

Peacock’s promotion follows the departure of Chris Duck, former Head of Property Underwriting, who left the business in December 2025 to pursue opportunities elsewhere.
