Tim Ablett joins Project Consulting Partners

Tim Ablett, former chief executive of FirstAssist Group, has been appointed consultant specialising in general insurance by Project Consulting Partners.

Prior to leading the FirstAssist Group of which he is still a non-executive director, Ablett was managing director of Groupama Insurances. Before that he was director of the Royal & SunAlliance health division .

“The challenge for the general insurance sector is to create greater value from existing customers” said Ablett.

“This is no mean feat when you look at the level of competition that now exists in the market, combined with the high degree of regulation applied to the industry.

"For many companies it is exceptionally hard to look outside of the day-to-day business and this makes it extremely difficult to identify the best opportunities for profitable growth.”
