MIB has announced Andrew Wilkinson will become their new Chief Claims Officer this summer.

Andrew is the final addition to a series of senior leadership appointments announced in September last year as part of the MIB’s aim to increase its benefit to the industry and partners.

Since then, James Dalton, Kjirste Coltham and Chris Makomereh have joined MIB, who exist to protect people from the devastation of uninsured and hit-and-run driving.

The senior claims role has been created in order to provide dedicated focus on managing and developing MIB’s largest operation, which sees over 26,000 claims from victims of uninsured and hit-and-run drivers each year.

Andrew joins MIB after 25 years at Aviva. He was a driving force in Aviva’s successful campaign for personal injury reform and most recently served as their Technical Claims Director.

Andrew will sit on the MIB’s Executive Team, reporting to Chief Executive Dominic Clayden.

Dominic Clayden said: “We’re delighted to have appointed Andrew to the role of Chief Claims Officer. Last year we had the opportunity to rethink the type of executive leadership function we want for the future, as we continue to build an organisation that is seen by the industry as not only relevant, but invaluable.

“Andrew will bring a huge amount of experience, insight and challenge to how we manage claims quickly, fairly and compassionately. We’re delighted to have him on board.”
