Wholesale brokerage and MGA hires three new joiners to support rising international demand
London, 21st October 2025 – NARDAC, the specialist energy and infrastructure broker and Managing General Agent (MGA), has announced the appointment of three new insurance brokers to its London office. Lydia Melling, Callum McLachlan and Candida Caggiano have joined the business as Associates, reporting to NARDAC’s London Partners and supporting the placement of wholesale energy and infrastructure risks into the Lloyd’s insurance markets.
Melling and McLachlan joined the firm during the summer of 2025, with Caggiano following in October. Their appointments reflect NARDAC’s continued expansion as it responds to increasing client demand for specialist risk solutions across renewables, power and infrastructure.
McLachlan joins from underwriter Tokio Marine HCC; Melling joins permanently following a placement year with NARDAC in 2024; and Caggiano transitions from the education sector. McLachlan and Melling will focus on supporting European and US retailers and insureds, while Caggiano — a native Italian and Spanish speaker — will manage project risks for retailers across Latin and South America, including the Caribbean.
The investment in new talent follows a period of significant growth for NARDAC, driven by strong global interest in its broking and underwriting solutions. The firm is seeing rising demand in established and emerging markets, notably for hyperscale energy and AI infrastructure, as well as for rapidly evolving battery storage, solar and wind projects. Its MGA facilities for commercial and industrial (community) solar, battery storage and severe convective storm risks have also expanded in recent months.
“In a period of firm growth for the business, we’re investing in our team as we meet the evolving needs of the energy transition and complex infrastructure,” said Jatin Sharma, Managing Partner at NARDAC. “Lydia, Callum and Candida each bring a distinctive mix of technical, cultural and linguistic skills that mirror the diversity of the clients and markets we serve. As new Associates, they will play an important role in strengthening our ability to deliver specialist placement and underwriting solutions in an increasingly complex risk environment.”
The hires come amid a busy year for NARDAC, as the broker continues to grow its global presence and build capacity across renewables, power and infrastructure.
