At the beginning of his career, Agnew founded WNS Services Ltd – a claims management and third-party administrator to the insurance sector – which he later sold to Warburg Pincus.

In 2004, he became chief executive of Lloyd’s MGA Jubilee Insurance and affiliated businesses, a start-up venture with syndicates covering motor, life and specialty classes.

After this was acquired by Aon Group in 2010, he took up board and advisory positions in government, including the lead non-executive director at the Ministry of Justice, chairman of the academies board at the Department for Education as well as non-executive director.

In 2015, he was knighted for his services to education.

He accepted the post of Lord’s minister in the Department of Education in 2017, before being appointed minister of state across the treasury and cabinet office in 2020.

Spencer added: ”His experience of business and governance is exemplary.

”He will be a stimulating addition to our board and his input is much anticipated.”
