Covéa Insurance strengthens Personal Lines leadership team
In a move to strengthen its Personal Lines team, Covéa Insurance has appointed Jamie McCann as head of Personal Lines. McCann, with 28 years’ experience in the insurance industry, will take responsibility for distribution and underwriting.
Alongside him is Jade Midgley, promoted to head of trading for Personal Lines. With 24 years at Covéa Insurance, Midgley brings a deep understanding of customers, brokers and the market the business operates in, all of which will be invaluable as Covéa Insurance continues to grow.

McCann said: “For me, a strong personal lines proposition is one that is genuinely customer‑led, technically strong, and easy for brokers to do business with.”
Under his leadership, the underwriting team will continue to deepen its expertise.
Head of Motor
Earlier this year, Covéa Insurance welcomed John Finnigan as head of Motor, bringing 18 years of experience in the insurance industry, and Sara Simmons as head of Home & Pet Underwriting.
Midgley’s focus is on understanding what brokers need to do business with Covéa Insurance. She said: “Understanding where the market’s actually moving and what our customers actually need is massively important. We can then work out how we can help and technically bring it to life.”
It is an exciting time for the Personal Lines team and Covéa Insurance more broadly, as the business continues to build on the trust it has with brokers and, as a 100 per cent intermediated insurer, work in complete alignment with its broker partners.
