Post reporter Callum Brodie outlines this week's major general insurance stories including the reason behind Imperial Consultants’ Ian Hogarth’s move to LAS Claims Management.
Kevin Skillin has returned to the helm of Imperial as CEO, while Hogarth and Ritchie Marshall have moved to LAS to take up the roles of business development director and client development manager respectively.
In other news loss adjuster MYI has been appointed to handle high value and contentious claims against the police from the summer's Manchester riots; Brian Marsh of venture capital firm BP Marsh claims he has a multi-million pound war-chest to buy stakes of between 20% and 40% in internationally trading brokers; and insurers need to do more to boost satisfaction among brokers, according to a Brokerbility survey which showed that currently Axa is the only firm performing above the 80% approval benchmark. Brokerbility chairman Ashwin Mistry said Axa should take credit for improving broker relationships, however, he also registered his "surprise" that other major insurers fell short of the expected standards.
