Nick Metcalf hands over reins of Liberty Specialty Markets to Matthew Moore

16 August 2017, LONDON – Liberty Specialty Markets’ (LSM) President and Managing Director Nick Metcalf has handed over the running of LSM to Matthew Moore, in a move that has been in the planning for several years (although remains subject to final regulatory approval).

Matthew Moore said: “I am delighted to be leading LSM in its next phase of evolution. I believe that LSM is uniquely placed to take advantage of the opportunities presented by the innovation taking place in the London market, and it is a privilege to be leading LSM at this exciting time.

“I look forward to engaging with our clients in my new role and to helping them to prosper. I would like to pay tribute to Nick’s leadership of LSM over the past 10 years and to the guidance and support he has provided to me personally as I look to lead on from the excellent position in which LSM now finds itself.”

Nick Metcalf said: “Matthew is uniquely placed to lead LSM in the future and I am absolutely delighted to be handing over the reins to such a talented market leader. I have enjoyed leading LSM through a very successful period and wish Matthew and the leadership team every success in the future.”

Chris Peirce, President of Liberty Mutual’s Global Specialty Strategic Business Unit, said: “I want to thank Nick for leading LSM through a very successful period and to wish Matthew and his leadership team every success in the future. Matthew is well known and respected in the industry, and has a deserved reputation for smart thinking and business building.”

Moore, most recently LSM’s Group CUO, has been with Liberty for 15 years, after joining in 2002 as a Political Risk underwriter. He was appointed Active Underwriter of Liberty’s 4472 Syndicate, and Group CUO of LSM when LSM was formed in 2014 by merging Liberty Syndicates�� business with that of Liberty’s London market insurance company.
