MedCo’s new structure follows MoJ review

MedCo names new chairman

MedCo has appointed an executive chairman in a change of structure for the personal injury portal.

Martin Heskins has been promoted to executive chairman from general manager. He replaces Lorraine Rogerson who stepped down after two years as independent chair in December.

The appointment follows last October’s revision to MedCo rules by the Ministry of Justice.

The MoJ said it would not allow the creation of medical reporting organisations set up as shell companies, which were undermining the system set up to increase scrutiny of soft tissue injury claims.

MedCo also announced the appointment of of Leigh Evans of the Motor Insurers’ Bureau to oversee MedCo operations with responsibility for system functionality and user experience. The MIB is the appointed service provider to MedCo.

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.

Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
Many congratulations to all the worthy winners and as always, huge thanks to our sponsors for their support and our judges for their expertise.
