Charles Taylor Managing Agency swoops for Capita CEO

Charles Taylor Managing Agency (CTMA) has appointed Colin Grint as chief executive officer. He will join CTMA later in 2018 from Capita Managing Agency.

Grint is currently chief executive of Capita, manager of Probitas syndicate 1492 and former manager of Allied World Syndicate 2232, which gained Lloyd's approval in 2014 to become its own managing agency.

Grint has over 25 years’ experience in Lloyd’s, London and international insurance markets. He was previously chief executive of corporate insurance at Capita and held senior strategic, operational and broking roles at Marsh. He has been a member of key decision-making London Market bodies, including the London Market Group, London & International Insurance Brokers' Association and Placing Platform Limited.

Robert Andrews, interim chief executive of CTMA, will continue in his current role until Grint takes up his post. Andrews will then take up a senior strategic and risk management role in the managing agency.

Grint will also join the board of CTMA. Launched in 2015, CTMA manages The Standard Syndicate (Syndicate 1884).

“CTMA has been providing managing agency services to The Standard Syndicate since 2015. Colin’s deep knowledge of the Lloyd’s market, expertise in leading a turnkey managing agency and abilities in driving strategic change will be invaluable as we take CTMA forward," said Barnabas Hurst-Bannister, chairman of CTMA.

“Robert Andrews has achieved a huge amount as interim chief executive and will continue in this role until Colin Grint takes up his post. I would like to thank Robert for his excellent leadership of CTMA; the managing agency is in a far stronger position thanks to his commitment, drive and expertise,” he added.
