Compre hires Dominic Clayden to newly created global role

11/09/25

Compre Group Holdings Limited (“Compre”), the Bermuda-domiciled international specialty reinsurance group, today announces the appointment of Dominic Clayden to the newly created role of interim global claims director.

Reporting to COO Simon Hawkins, Clayden will be responsible for the continued development of Compre’s global claims function, with all claims teams in the US and Europe reporting to him.

Clayden, a lawyer by profession with extensive claims experience, is a seasoned insurance executive who brings considerable expertise to Compre. As QBE’s group chief claims officer he was responsible for managing $15bn+ of reserves across Europe, Lloyd’s, North America and Asia Pacific. He also previously worked for Aviva as general insurance claims director and most recently he served as CEO of the UK Motor Insurance Bureau.

Under Clayden’s leadership, the global claims function will ensure consistency and best practice across all regions. His expertise and global perspective will help deepen Compre’s technical excellence and he will further introduce innovative measures to continually improve service standards. Consolidating claims into a single function will also streamline processes, eliminate duplication and optimise technology, ultimately to improve settlement times and continually improve customer satisfaction..

Simon Hawkins, group COO said: “Globalising our claims proposition is an exciting developmental step that builds on Compre’s successful growth in recent years. Our reputation rests on fair, consistent and transparent claims handling and I am delighted Dominic could join us to complete this important transition which began in 2023. It very much underpins our ambitions for further growth and to be the partner of choice for innovative capital and liability solutions.

“As part of this evolution, Bill Bouvier, claims director, North America, will be stepping down on 31st October 2025. Bill has been instrumental in building our US claims proposition in recent years, for which we are very grateful and wish him every success in the future.”
