I’m Vice Chair on the Health Claims Forum which I have been a committee member of for almost 7 years.  I am passionate about the learning and sharing of knowledge within the claims industry; facilitating the development of claims assessors and ensuring our customers have the best experience possible at a very challenging time in their lives.

Currently Chief Underwriter at AIG, I’ve worked in underwriting for 15 years in a number of different roles. I’ve been a member of AMUS for 5 years and on the LUCID committee for Glasgow and York.  I’m passionate about educating underwriting and claims professionals and proud of the work that AMUS and LUCID do to this end.  I am keen to support the development of underwriting so that we can get cover in place for more people, more easily,  helping more people to live better lives.

This is my first insurance conference and I am proud to represent the Health Insurance Society with LUCID. It is with pleasure that I look forward to working with the LUCID 2025 committee and supporting the delegates and speakers.

I’m a Senior Underwriter with Zurich Life having joined the old Eagle Star in 1999 and became an Underwriter in 2001 and have been with the company throughout my career to date.

My main areas of interest / expertise are within automated / expert underwriting systems having led our introduction and expansion of these systems since 2007 in Zurich Life Ireland.

I was lucky enough to join the FOCUS committee in 2018 and am very much looking forward to being part of the LUCID committee for the first time. I’ve only been lucky enough to attend one of the past LUCID events (Glasgow 2019) so am very much ready to get stuck in with the organisation of our 2025 event.

I have worked in Claims for 20 years in a variety of roles, at both Legal & General and RGA. I’ve also been part of the Health Claims Forum for 10 years; the last 4 being spent as Vice Chair and then Chair. I’m excited about joining the LUCID committee as I enjoy putting together training and events that will benefit our fantastic industry and in turn, improving the service we can offer insurance customers.

I have worked in the insurance industry for 25 years, with over 15 years’ experience of training and developing underwriters at all stages of their careers. In conjunction with Cardiff University’s Professional Development team, I co-facilitated several specialist medical modules for underwriters. Since November 2021 I have worked as a Development Underwriter at Legal and General, retaining a keen interest in continuing professional development.

I joined the Select 74 committee in 2019, and I’m looking forward to working with the LUCID 2025 committee to deliver an exciting and innovative conference programme.
