Superscript welcomes new CCO Chris Barclay

We're delighted to announce the appointment of Chris Barclay as Chief Commercial Officer.

Barclay will begin on 1st September. As one of the UK’s fastest growing commercial insurance brokers, we're entering the next major phase of accelerated growth, bolstered by this new major hire following our successful Series B investment raise back in January.

Focus on growth

Underpinned by the mission to become the world-leading SME insurance brand, Barclay will assume responsibility for scaling distribution and delivering unmatched client experiences across the SME, partnerships and specialty revenue teams, globally. This will include working on key offerings such as embedded insurance and banking propositions, along with driving pan-European growth of the firm’s broking services.

Barclay joins from broking giant Marsh, where he was Managing Director, Head of UK Affinity. He brings 23 years of experience driving exceptional commercial results both in the UK and internationally, having previously held senior positions, which include leading the Affinity and Direct business at JLT/Thistle.

Cameron Shearer, Co-Founder and CEO of Superscript, said:

The SME economy is diverse and complex, requiring innovative technical solutions to meet insurance demands. With the addition of Chris to the team, Superscript has never been in a stronger position to capture significant market share in the UK, and increasingly, beyond.

The experience and passion Chris brings further elevates Superscript as the challenger in business insurance, where technical and operational legacy is increasingly holding back the delivery of better customer experiences and better results for insurers. Building on our success to date, we’re dedicated to driving significant advancements for both the insurance industry and our valued customers.
