MIB appoints new chief executive

The Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB) has appointed Angus Eaton as its new chief executive.

Eaton succeeds Dominic Claydon, whose departure was announced in January after six years in the role.

Eaton will take up the top boss position on 1 July, with Claydon staying on as a strategic advisor until the end of the year to help with the transition.

“The strong capabilities that Dominic and team have built will enable [the MIB] to continue to successfully deliver for everyone it serves going forward,” Eaton said.

“I am delighted and privileged to be joining the MIB as its new chief executive.

“I am excited about getting started and working closely with MIB colleagues, members, board and stakeholders to ensure that the MIB fulfils the valuable potential it offers.”

Experience

Eaton will take up the role after more than four years as group chief risk officer at Hastings Group.

Before this, he spent 13 years at Aviva in various leadership roles. This includes strategy and transformation director for UK insurance and managing director of UK commercial general insurance.

MIB chair Mike Crane said: “It’s a great pleasure to announce Angus as the MIB’s new chief executive.

“The MIB continues to play a critical role for the sector and I know Angus shares a strong passion for the purpose and values of the MIB.

“I am very much looking forward to working with Angus as he takes on the leadership of the organisation and I know the board are keen to ensure a smooth, effective transition for the leadership of the MIB.”
