CLAIMS management outfit Claims Management Group ltd (CMGL) has appointed Ian Finlayson, previously of AON, to head its non-London market operation.
Finlayson will cover asbestostosis claims as part of a general focus on UK latent disease claims and will help set up a centre specialising in the field.
He has already built up expertise on lung disease and work-related upper limb problems in a career which has included senior positions at Iron Trades Insurance Group and IRISC.
CMGL chief executive Jerry McArthur said: "We are very pleased to have recruited Ian, a well-known and highly respected market figure, who brings with him not just many years of claims and operational management experience at the highest level, but also a profound understanding of the issues raised by complex latent disease claims."
CMGL provides claims and insurance management services to self-insured corporations and insurers. It has more than 400 staff.
