Normally I have C-suite guests on the programme who are working for companies with tens, hundreds and sometimes low thousands of employees. They generally write between the tens, hundreds of millions or single-digit billions in annual gross premiums.  But today’s guests are working on behalf of a marketplace that directly employs 47,000 people and many more offshore.  It writes well over a hundred billion dollars in gross premiums and that is a number set to rise sharply as the market continues to harden.   This is because together CEO Caroline Wagstaff, and Chairman Matthew Moore, run the London Market Group, the LMG.   The LMG is the London Market’s trade body bringing together Lloyd’s and its constituent underwriting businesses, the London company market and the brokers to represent the whole London insurance and reinsurance Market to the outside world and to lobby on its behalf.  London is facing a demographic squeeze where its stock of over 50-year-olds exceeds its number of those under the age of thirty.  In this lively episode Matthew and Caroline recount the nature of this problem and, more importantly, articulate the plan they have formulated to address it.   We also talk about the prospects for the UK regulator to have to take the market’s competitive position into consideration when making and implementing new rules as key financial services reform legislation makes its way through the UK Parliament.  The agenda includes the prospect of the UK seeking to develop a ‘red carpet’ welcome to rival that of more nimble and proactive jurisdictions such as Bermuda and Singapore.   The continuing iterations of ongoing work to further the London Market brand under the London Makes it Possible banner are another topic of discussion.  Matthew and Caroline are passionate and really engaging speakers and this episode will give you a great sense of where the market’s collective marketing and lobbying efforts are being channelled both now and in coming years.

Caroline Wagstaff, CEO for the London Market Group

Todays’ guest is a formidable professional with whom I have been sparring on and off for the last 16 years.   But most of the time that sparring would have gone on behind the scenes and not while notebooks were open, or indeed, the microphones switched on.   That’s because Caroline Wagstaff, who has just been confirmed in post as the permanent CEO of cross-industry body the London Market Group (LMG), has spent her career working on the media relations and strategies of top players in the industry.   In this interview we run through what the LMG is all about and what its top priorities are.  We talk about lobbying government departments and regulators and selling the benefits of the London Market to brokers, customers and future talent from around the world.  There is also a lot of detail around the recent success the LMG has had in getting the UK Government to give regulators an obligation to consider the impact of regulatory activity on the globally competitive position of the market.  Caroline says that a big part of this job is about corralling all the hugely varied and often disparate parts of the market together under common banners.   This job needs a very strong character to bring all the different players together.   Listen to this and I think you’ll see straight away why the LMG board felt Caroline was going to be a good fit for the role.  I always enjoy spending time with Caroline because she is so direct and there is no ambiguity – I think you will too.  NOTES I refer to The LMG 5-point plan early in the podcast and I think I should have introduced it a bit better, so here it is in all its glory: https://lmg.london/news/lmg-launches-5-point-plan-to-help-seize-new-global-trade-opportunities/ LINKS: We thank our naming sponsor AdvantageGo - enabling an enterprise view of exposure: https://www.advantagego.com/ We also thank Claims Direct Access (CDA) for their support today: https://www.claimsdirectaccess.com/
