UK broker MCE Insurance embarks on global expansion with key hire

UK-based motorbike insurance company  MCE Insurance has hired an independent non-executive director to help drive its global expansion plans, including the launch of six new depots throughout mainland Europe, North America and Asia in 2022 and 2023.

Alan Atkins (pictured centre) will join MCE as an independent NED of its newly formed global expansion division.

The unit is designed to expand its insurer claims handling model into North America and APAC markets.

MCE said Atkins has a “phenomenal proven track record” in scaling start-ups, high growth strategies, global expansion, new markets and raising capital. His experience comes on the back of senior positions in Red Apple Finance, PremFina, Omni Capital and Bexhill.

“We are delighted to welcome Alan to MCE, his experience is a perfect fit and his energy is infectious. Incredibly, the additional capacity and technical capability Alan brings is already impacting MCE’s Global Expansion Division,” said CEO Julian Edwards (pictured centre right).

Atkins commented: “ MCE is once again at the forefront of innovation and driving change with their proven approach to new markets. I have spent significant time with both the Board and the Executive Team to fully understand their global expansion strategy. The MCE team are an incredible group of individuals and I have no doubt we will accomplish our goals together.”
