John Shaftoe, Managing Director

An insurance executive with 40 years' experience, John is a well known figure in the public risk management field.

"Over the years I’ve been involved in insurance and claims management for the Public Sector, and have seen a huge change in this environment. Whilst there are common themes, each organisation is very different and has its own challenges and risk profile. As such it is important that their insurer is flexible enough to assist them in meeting their specific circumstances and challenges."
