Randall & Quilter (R&Q) has announced the appointment of Robin McCoy as chief executive of its insurance services division.

McCoy, formerly managing director of Capita's London Market division, will join the company at the start of November.

Ken Randall, chairman of R&Q, said: "I am delighted to announce that Robin will be joining us. His experience, energy and expertise will be of enormous support to the group as we embark upon an ambitious expansion programme including the acquisition of an existing run-off management company in London."

Randall added that he expected group staff numbers to reach around 200 by the end of the year.

McCoy previously worked with Randall and R&Q's Peter McCann and Alan Quinter at Eastgate Insurance Services, now Capita.
