Matt is an award-winning journalist who started his career as an Actuarial Associate Consultant at Aon where he studied towards the professional exams of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries and completed an MSc in Actuarial Finance at Imperial College Business School.

As Insight Editor of Insurance Times, Matt reported widely on the UK general insurance market, focusing particularly on the financial and regulatory landscape. He has authored many well-respected research publications including the annual Insurance Times Top 50 Insurers and Top 50 Brokers reports, and spoken at a number of industry events on topics including motor insurance, regulation, cyber insurance, customer service, and financial performance.

Matt is a keen martial artist and football fan, and when not in the office he can often be found enjoying the countryside of Dartmoor near his native Plymouth.

Dan has worked in media and market intelligence businesses for more than 25 years. He’s launched and developed brands including Health Insurance, Insurance Times, and Fairer Finance. And, more recently as publisher of StrategicRISK and Global Reinsurance. 

He first worked with Matt at Insurance Times, and it was here that he helped to develop a new insurer and MGA ratings system based on broker opinion. 

Away from work, Dan lives in South London and is often found traipsing around the country following his beloved Plymouth Argyle FC.

Insurance DataLab was launched to solve the increasingly difficult challenge of finding credible, comparable, and digestible information on the performance of insurance companies.
