Compre hires new deputy chief executive

Compre Group Holdings has appointed David Atkins to the newly created role of deputy chief executive, subject to regulatory approval.

In his role, Atkins will be directly responsible for core functions across the group including operations, risk, actuarial, claims and people.

The firm said the appointment strengthens its “leadership capacity to manage scale and complexity while maintaining disciplined execution and clear accountability”.

The new appointee added: “Compre has a strong platform, clear strategy and a reputation for disciplined execution and client service.

“I am looking forward to joining the group and being a key part of the leadership team driving its further growth.”

Experience

Atkins joins Compre from Premia, where he has served as chief operating officer for the past five years, with responsibility for operational delivery, integration and organisational effectiveness.

Prior to Premia, he spent 17 years at Enstar, holding a number of senior leadership positions across operations, strategy and execution.

He will report to Compre group chief executive Will Bridger in his new role and be based in London. He is due to start on 1 July.

Bridger said: ”As Compre continues to grow, this appointment strengthens our leadership structure for the future and I expect to be working hand in glove with Atkins in driving the next phase of the group’s strategic development.

”I am confident that his experience will be a strong addition to the business and am excited about the opportunity to work together.”
