AEGIS London reveals new digital role

AEGIS London has promoted Phil Lucas to the newly-created role of digital applications manager.

Lucas was formerly business application manager, having originally joined AEGIS London in 2010. He has over 20 years’ experience in application and IT support. He manages the infrastructure of AEGIS London’s Opal online quote-and-bind platform as well as the electronic delivery of new products and enhancements. Prior to AEGIS, he has held senior roles with Unilever, Merrill Lynch and Lloyds Banking Group.

In his new role, Lucas will report to Tom Squires, head of digital trading, who said: “Digital trading and distribution is a growing part of AEGIS London’s business model as evidenced by the success of our Opal platform. With that in mind, we’ve created this role to provide dedicated IT support to our Digital Trading Division.

“With his many years of vendor and business application experience, Phil was ideally placed to take on this new role.”
