Craig Dickson—DAC Beachcroft

Firm appoints CEO to claims solutions group

DAC Beachcroft has appointed Craig Dickson as CEO of its claims solutions group (CSG) on a permanent basis.  

Dickson, previously head of CSG's motor division, replaces Bill Paton, who joined RSA as claims director (UK & Western Europe) in March.

Craig says: "CSG is a dynamic business and continues to be the number one volume claims provider in a very competitive market. I am really looking forward to the challenge of building on achievements to date and strengthening our market-leading position, focusing on delivering results for our clients and developing our people."  

David Pollitt, chairman of CSG, says: "I am delighted for Craig and for CSG. He understands the business inside out and has already shown, in the role of interim CEO, that he also has all the leadership qualities required to lead CSG through the next phase of its development." 

"This is a really strong and powerful appointment for the business.  We have some big opportunities ahead of us and I am confident that Craig will lead CSG to seize those opportunities and reinforce its market-leading position."
