TMHCC – Specialty Group partners with The Acheson Group

Tokio Marine HCC – Specialty Group has partnered with The Acheson Group (TAG), a global food safety and public health consultancy, to enhance its Product Recall business in both the UK and US markets.

The partnership extends TAG’s crisis management and food safety expertise to TMHCC – Specialty Group clients, offering tailored support in mitigating operational, regulatory, and reputational risks. The move follows the formation of TMHCC’s London-based crisis management team in May 2024, led by Mark Hutton, Chief Underwriting Officer for Crisis Management, as part of a broader expansion beyond its market-leading U.S. Product Recall portfolio.

Max Cotton, Vice President of Product Recall at TMHCC – Specialty Group US, said the collaboration comes amid growing global exposure to product contamination events. The addition of TAG’s consultancy services allows TMHCC to provide deeper risk assessment and crisis response support to clients.

Widely recognized as a leader in food crisis consultancy, The Acheson Group will help TMHCC deliver enhanced recall management capabilities and reinforce its standing as a key player in specialty insurance.

TMHCC – Specialty Group is part of Tokio Marine HCC, a global specialty insurance group headquartered in Houston and a member of the Tokio Marine Group, which reported a market capitalization of $81 billion as of June 30, 2025.
