Markerstudy hires former CEO of Fresh Insurance

Markerstudy has appointed the former CEO of Fresh Insurance as its new head of non-standard insurance.

Mike Wall will build a team to develop Markerstudy’s non-standard home and motor offerings, including telematics insurance under the existing Smart Driver Club brand.

“It’s great to have the opportunity to use what I’ve learned over more than 40 years in insurance as a blueprint to build something new and exciting for Markerstudy,” said Wall, who is now recruiting around 12 people to join his new team.

“I have worked with Markerstudy for 20 years – I know they have great people and I understand the vibrancy and ambitions of their business, and I’m delighted to be able to be part of that.

“Some people might wonder why I’m taking this on at the age of 60, but having had some time out I know I’m not ready to stop, I’ve got more to do, and this was just too good an opportunity to miss.”

Wall will report to Markerstudy’s group chief underwriting officer Gary Humphreys, who said: “It’s great to bring Mike on board at such an exciting time in our company’s development.

“We’ve set ourselves ambitious targets to make more of an impact in this market, and with Mike’s extensive experience and expertise I know he’ll be playing a key role in helping us achieve them.”
