He will now be supported by three divisional heads. They are Martin Campbell, James Glynn and James Thomas.

All three have been promoted after several years with the business.

Graham said: “I am delighted to be able to announce the leadership structure that we have put in place for the new Antares commercial division.

“Campbell, Glynn and Thomas are all talented individuals and under their leadership I look forward to continued strong performance on both the syndicate and reinsurance areas of the business in 2025.”

He will also take on the role of acting head of the reinsurance division.
