Stephen Raine to become new London Market director

Cunningham Lindsey UK has announced the appointment of Stephen Raine to the board of Cunningham Lindsey UK, as London Market director.

Raine, who has been with Cunningham Lindsey for over 24 years, will be based at the UK company's new offices in Fenchurch Street. Cunningham Lindsey UK has seen significant growth in its London Market business in the last three years and Stephen's remit is to develop and implement a dynamic strategy for further expansion. New services include a claims handling bureau, a facility that will provide a focal point for claims notification, dedicated and designed specifically for the London market.

Raine will also work closely with other parts of the Cunningham Lindsey Group to capitalise on multi national opportunities, including colleagues from Cunningham Lindsey International whose construction and international teams continue to operate from their newly expanded head quarters in International House.

Phil McNeilage, chief executive of Cunningham Lindsey UK said: "I am delighted that Stephen has accepted our invitation to join our Board. The London Market is a key area of growth for the UK company this year and fits well with the Group opportunities afforded by the Stone Point deal that we concluded in 2007. Stephen already has a strong reputation in the Property Owners market and I am certain that he will make a similar impact leading our UK London Market team."
