Allianz taps senior global P&C exec as head of motor claims

Allianz has tapped a senior global P&C executive to fill in the key position of head of motor claims in the UK, replacing Ian Kershaw who is leaving the group to pursue other opportunities.

Allianz Commercial has appointed Nick Kelsall (pictured) as head of motor claims.

Kelsall joined  Allianz in the UK in 2015 as technical claims manager, progressing to fraud manager and head of insurance claims, with a secondment to head of motor. In 2020, he pursued an opportunity with  Allianz Group in Munich.

As senior global P&C executive, he led on the creation and implementation of a globalised digital fraud solution. He then became part of the  Allianz Customer Model (ACM) leadership team with a focus on improving claims processes and aligning supply chain networks globally. He led an international team responsible for the development of global IT assets that support the claims journey.

Kelsall will report to head of technical claims Lee Watts, who said: “Nick’s previous knowledge of  Allianz Commercial combined with his Group experience ideally places him to lead technical motor claims and support the wider business as we continue to transform our claims proposition and look to outperform our business plans.”

Kelsall commented: “I am excited about working back in the UK and leveraging my Group experience to support the transformation of claims processes and proposition with a continued focus on the customer. Technology is bringing about momentous changes, making this a really exciting time
