Linturn was previously at AXA XL where she held the role of VP head of IT change controls and sourcing. Prior to that, she held senior technology roles at XL Catlin, and AXA UK and positions with particular emphasis on technology sourcing and vendor management during a 20-year career.

Miell has been charged with defining, implementing and enabling the club’s HR strategy, making sure its decisions, policies and working align with it.

He has more than 20 years of experience in HR in a variety of roles largely in technology, financial services and professional services, notably MoneySupermarket Group, Pearson Group and DWF.

Dipo Oyewole, performance & strategy director of the Standard Club, said: "This is a year of new beginnings for the club and these new appointments are part of our ongoing investment in our people and technology. As a club, we know that its our people that set us apart: their expertise, their resilience and their total commitment to our members. This recent period has confirmed for us the importance of technology and we will continue to invest in it to better serve our members. This is a special year for the club and we are delighted to have Laura and Alex join us."
