The Lloyd’s market will this month vote for four new members of the Lloyd’s Market Association’s governing body in what has become the most competitive election in the LMA’s 11-year history.
Eight candidates are standing for four seats on the LMA board, with the result due to be announced at the LMA’s annual general meeting on 30 May. Voting has begun and the ballot closes on Friday 18 May.
The eight candidates are:
– Ian Beaton, Ark Syndicate Management Limited
– Andrew Brooks, Ascot Underwriting Limited
– Charles Franks, R. J. Kiln & Company Limited
– Martin Hudson, Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance Underwriting at Lloyd’s
– Andrew Kendrick, ACE Underwriting Agencies Limited
– David Reeves, Barbican Managing Agency Limited
– Nicholas Sinfield, Catlin Underwriting Agencies Limited
– Michael Watson, Canopius Managing Agents Limited
David Gittings, the LMA’s Chief Executive, said: “It’s extremely pleasing to see so much interest from the market in serving on the LMA board. With eight candidates for four seats, this is the first time we’ve had such a high degree of competition in our Board election, which I believe reflects the increasingly important role the LMA is playing in the market’s life.”
The LMA board has 12 elected members. Elections take place each year when one third of the elected members stand down.
Voting is weighted based on the managing agency’s capacity, giving each managing agency 1–4 votes.
