Brendan Devine, Atec Group CEO, said: “Matthew brings extensive experience in personal lines pricing, niche household in particular, having previously held senior roles at both Prestige Underwriting and more recently Geo.

“Matthew’s initial focus will be working with the team in Arkel, Atec’s MGA - which specialises in niche property lines, then moving on to leading the wider group pricing strategy across risk and retail layers, utilising the extensive Atec data assets enriched with external sources to ensure we continue to drive innovation in the leisure and niche home markets we specialise in.
