Pool Re’s chief communications officer to receive peerage

Pool Re’s chief communications officer Tracey Paul has been appointed as a peer to the House of Lords.

The move was confirmed by the Prime Minister’s office on 10 December 2025. She has been recognised for her services to terrorism insurance and wider public life, having spent more than three decades working across public policy and political arenas.  

Paul said: “Joining the House of Lords is a huge honour and I’m looking forward to working on issues that matter to me and the country.

”I am grateful to Pool Re for giving me the opportunity to work on many areas, including national resilience and counterterrorism, which I intend to pursue in the future.

”The City of London is one of our national success stories and I will take all I have learnt here into my new position.”

Experience

Since joining Pool Re in 2018, Paul has led strategic engagement and communications, contributing to national resilience against terrorism risk.

Her work has included advancing awareness of terrorism insurance, expanding coverage to include business interruption and liaising with government and industry stakeholders to address evolving threats.

Earlier in her career, she held senior roles in the Labour Party, including leading strategic communications during general election campaigns.

Tom Clementi, Pool Re chief executive, said: “I congratulate Paul wholeheartedly on her appointment to the House of Lords. Her dedication to public service, both in her professional capacity and as a volunteer in her community, is extraordinary. Her personal story is inspiring and everyone at Pool Re is immensely proud of her.  

“Paul has deep insurance expertise and represents the sector with passion and integrity. She will be able to speak up for the critical role that insurance plays in fostering growth and resilience and the significant contribution the industry makes to our public finances.”
