Simon McGinn, CEO, DUAL UK, said: “We are delighted to welcome Ciaran on board as Managing Director of KGM. KGM is a recognised leader in specialist motor insurance with a history going back over 65 years. Ciaran joins a business already delivering above sector growth, and I am confident his leadership will see this success continue. Ciaran’s career has included a strong focus on tech, data and AI which are very naturally key areas of focus for KGM, and looking ahead, we’ll be further investing people and technology to support our growth.”
