Groupama Insurance appoints Glyn Hughes as Personal Lines Pricing and Planning Manager at Groupama Insurances. Reporting directly to Kevin Kiernan, Personal Lines Director, Glyn will play a significant role in ensuring that Groupama is able to provide a quick and competitive response to business opportunities whilst retaining a clear focus on protecting bottom line profitability. He heads up a team of 4 analysts supporting Groupama’s household and motor personal lines development underwriters.
Formerly a Pricing and Planning Analyst at Groupama Insurances, Glyn has been with the business for 4 years having joined the company from Experian Automotive. As Pricing and Planning Manager he will be responsible for the provision of rating and planning information necessary to formulate pricing strategy across the Personal Lines business. Glyn’s team will work closely with Groupama’s actuaries to ensure swift responses to development opportunities and the speed to market to maximise their potential.
Kevin Kiernan said: “This is a critical appointment for our business as we really need to be quick and agile to operate effectively in today’s fiercely competitive personal lines arena. Glyn has the proven skills we need to ensure our teams optimise our pricing and maximises profitability. Like the rest of the motor market we currently face a particular challenge with the current rate of claims inflation and its effects on pricing. Initially, this will be a key focus for Glyn and his team.”
Glyn Hughes added: “This is a fantastic opportunity to streamline things and to provide our partner brokers with ease of access to quick underwriting decisions whilst safeguarding bottom line business profitability. The UK’s Personal Lines market is a highly dynamic and challenging sector and I am eager to use my skills and experience to start making a difference for Groupama and our broker partners.”
