Canopius strengthens its claims team

Canopius Group has restructured its claims team and made a number of senior appointments.

Michael East, who leads the team, will continue his role as head of claims, supported by a senior claims team, restructured to be more closely aligned to Canopius’ three strategic business units: global property, global specialty and UK retail.

Fiona Sperry continues her role as deputy head of claims and also assumes the role of head of global specialty claims. Clare Constable is promoted to head of global property claims and Tony Scott is promoted to head of UK retail claims. Angus Rogers joins the senior team as head of claims MI and operations.

In addition, the global specialty claims team has been strengthened. Akhtar Ahmed has been appointed head of casualty claims and Tabitha Nice, who joins the team in January 2014, is appointed head of political and crisis claims.

Scott has strengthened the UK Retail team with the promotion of Joff Percy to head of motor claims.

“We have significantly invested in both people and operations. We’ve developed, and built upon, our existing team of claims professionals by hiring the best people to service our clients,” said East. “Operationally we’ve improved our performance by aligning more clearly with our underwriting colleagues. The restructuring is part of our overarching Group strategy for delivering service excellence, and brokers are already seeing benefits.”
