New strategy and management changes for Claims Consortium after review

Claims Consortium Group has restructured its management team as part of a new five-year strategy, designed to drive forward growth and diversification in three core areas – claims, technology and data.

The changes will see Matt Brady take over as CEO of the  Claims Consortium Group from founder Jeremy Hyams, who will become executive chair. Brady was previously managing director of the group, having joined the business in 2007.

Owen Pugh (pictured), presently managing director of property claims, has been promoted to the board of directors and to the newly created role of chief operating officer. He will oversee service delivery across all of the group’s claims products.

Pugh joins Heather Lambert, group sales director; Helen McGraw, group finance director; and non-executive directors Rob Smale and Greg Gladwell on the board along with Hyams and Brady.

As executive chair, Hyams will continue to oversee the group’s overall strategy with a focus on progressing new developments and projects across the group.

The strategic review and management changes follow the acquisitions of specialist Lloyd’s and London market focused chartered loss adjuster, Roger Rich & Co, and weather and claims data specialist, WeatherNet, over the last 12 months, together with the launch of Synergy Cloud, the group’s stand-alone claims management software.

Hyams commented: “These changes, combined with our new five-year strategy will drive our business forward as we seek to build on and expand our services across claims, technology, and data. Matt has been my right hand in running the business for the last 12 months and there is nobody better to step into this position and deliver our strategic vision ensuring continued success as we build for the future.

“As Executive Chair I am looking forward to dedicating more time to focus on specific areas of opportunity and development for the group.”
