Aviva

The appointment of Charlotte Jones is effective from 5 September, subject to approval by the Prudential Regulation Authority and Financial Conduct Authority.

The decision marks the second time the carrier has explored an entry to Lloyd’s and ultimately reverted.

The major UK insurance group has been exploring a launch since last year.

He previously served as CEO of Neon, AFG’s Lloyd’s business, which was placed into run-off at the start of 2020.

The UK insurance Number 1 could take over Covea’s ~£725mn GI operation.

The carrier reported its highest GWP in more than a decade, improving by 6% to £8.8bn.

Succession Wealth has completed 60 acquisitions of its own to date and manages £9.5bn of assets.

Jason Windsor is leaving Aviva after 11 years, including two and a half as group CFO, to join Persimmon.

Arklie follows in the footsteps of Patrick Tiernan, who recently swapped Aviva for Lloyd’s.

It has been suggested that a Lloyd’s syndicate could provide a neat solution to the licensing needs of its growing specialty business.

Aviva increased gross written premium (GWP) in UK commercial insurance by 16% to £1.9bn ($2.5bn) during the first nine months of the year, as continued rate momentum helped fuel its top-line growth.

Staff turnover has been high in the class following a period of dramatic rating change.
