- Tom Quirke, Chief Actuary since 2016, becomes Chief Underwriting Officer (subject to regulatory approval), leading underwriting, pricing, fraud prevention, and data analytics.
- Adam Clarke transitions to Managing Director, Direct, to drive growth in Ageas’s direct business.
These changes align with Ageas’s strategy to strengthen its technical insurance capabilities, enhance data and AI-driven operations, and support brokers in navigating the evolving personal lines market.
“At Ageas, we’re serious about growing in the UK personal lines market. Our strategy over the last few years has delivered a successful and competitive platform for the business, and now it’s time to heighten our ambition. And brokers remain at the heart of that ambition. We recognise the critical role that brokers play in our business, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to support their success in navigating the challenges and many opportunities in the personal lines market. With these organisational changes, and the exciting new appointments, Ageas UK is finetuning how we are organised to ensure we remain focussed on the things that matter as we embark on this new chapter for our business. At the heart of this is ensuring we are there for brokers day in, day out, sharing our expertise and maintaining our agility to respond.” – Ageas UK CEO, Ant Middle.
