Andy Briggs to succeed Tim Bailey as ABI President

Andy Briggs, CEO of Phoenix Group, has become the new President for the Association of British Insurers (ABI), succeeding Tim Bailey, Zurich CEO, who had held the role since 2023.

Briggs will hold the President role for the next two years. Ken Norgrove, CEO, UK & International, RSA Insurance, remains the ABI’s Deputy President.

Commenting on his appointment, Briggs said: “It is a privilege to become the ABI President. Our world-leading industry has a significant role to play right now to support economic growth, both protect customers, households and businesses across the UK, and boost the returns on their investments.

“Through the ABI, the industry is stronger together and I look forward to working even more closely with members and business leaders to achieve these goals.”

Baroness Nicky Morgan, ABI Chair, stated: “We’re delighted Andy Briggs is stepping into the role of President. His extensive experience across the UK’s insurance and long-term savings sector is especially pertinent at this time as we work with the industry, government and regulators to support the growth mission, alongside Ken Norgrove as our Deputy President. ”

“We would like to thank Tim Bailey for his generous support for the ABI, both as our President and throughout his time on the Board. We wish him all the very best for his new role within Zurich.”

Additionally, the ABI has also selected three new Board members: Drazen Jaksic, Alistair Hargreaves and Chris Carroll.

Jaksic, who has been recently appointed as CEO of Zurich UK in January, will be replacing Tim Bailey following his move to become CEO of Zurich’s Global Life Protection business.

Hargreaves, the current CEO of UK insurance, Admiral, will be replacing Cristina Nestares, while Carroll, CEO, Bupa Insurance UK, replaces Alex Perry.
