General Insurance Article - Mike East to be next Chairman of LMA’s Claims Committee


 Mike East, Head of Operations and Claims of Canopius Managing Agents Limited, is to be the new chair of the Lloyd’s Market Association’s (LMA) Claims Committee.

 He will replace Jeremy Pinchin, who has chaired the committee since May 2009 and is taking up the position of CEO of Hiscox Bermuda and Group Claims Director.

 East has been a member of LMA’s Claims Committee since his election by the market’s claims community in January 2010. He takes over the role of chair with immediate effect.

 Commenting on his appointment, East said: “It’s a great honour to take up the role of chair of the LMA’s Claims Committee. Under the chairmanship of Jeremy Pinchin, the committee has been a real force for change and I’m committed to continue this good work.

 “As the representative body of the Lloyd’s claims community, our aim is to work collaboratively with the Corporation of Lloyd’s and the broking community to drive excellent performance and continue to increase the profile of claims within our industry. I’m looking forward to working with the committee to achieve this end."
 Although the market’s Claims Transformation Programme is currently the committee’s highest priority, the Claims Committee also oversees other LMA claims activity including the ECF2 and static claims initiatives.

 Tim Willcock, the LMA’s Head of Claims said: “I’m extremely pleased that someone as passionate about claims as Mike is willing to take up this role and is committed to leading the Lloyd’s claims community through this next period of change.”

 The LMA’s Claims Committee currently has nine elected members and seven ex officio members.
