Ageas and Brokers: Celebrating being Brilliant Together!
A message from Ant Middle, CEO, Ageas UK
We’re thrilled that during this week’s Insurance Times Awards, Ageas was honoured with the title of ‘Personal Lines Insurer of the Year 2024’. This marks the second consecutive year we've received this prestigious award, and we couldn't have achieved this without your unwavering support and partnership.
Your generous votes and trust in us are a testament to our collective success, and we’re profoundly grateful. Our continued partnership has been crucial in delivering brilliant service where it matters most for customers.
We’re delighted to have won two further 'Gold Awards’ this week; ‘Excellence in Claims Technology (Insurer)’ and ‘Excellence in Fraud Mitigation’, recognising the continued investment and development of our technical capabilities in claims management and fraud prevention - key components of any robust insurance business.
Looking ahead to 2025...
In addition to celebrating our award wins with you, we recently announced some strategic leadership changes that we believe position us for further growth in the personal lines broker market in 2025:
Adam Beckett, our current Chief Distribution Officer, will assume the new role of Managing Director, Broker & Partnerships from 1 January.
Tom Quirke, our Chief Actuary, has been appointed as Chief Underwriting Officer (subject to the usual regulatory approval) leading our Underwriting function, including pricing, fraud prevention and reinsurance. Tom will replace Adam Clarke following a change of role.
Iain Belson also joined us last month to work alongside Claire Green as our Directors of Distribution, continuing to strengthen our presence and expertise in the personal lines broker market.
These appointments support our strategy to elevate our personal lines business through profitable growth in our chosen markets, while enhancing our market-leading technical insurance capabilities and enabling a truly AI-first and data-driven organisation.
A Powerful Partnership in Personal Lines
We’re serious about growing in the UK personal lines market. Our strategy over the last few years has delivered a successful and competitive platform for the business, and now it’s time to heighten our ambition. And brokers remain at the heart of that ambition. We recognise the critical role that brokers play in our business, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to support their success in navigating the challenges and many opportunities in the personal lines market.
We’re excited about what the future holds and look forward to continuing our successful partnership with you. Thank you for your ongoing support and being Brilliant Together with Ageas.
Kind regards,
