Quindell Portfolio Plc
("Quindell" or the "Company")
APPOINTMENT OF DAVE PEFFER AS GROUP PROGRAMME DIRECTOR
Quindell Portfolio Plc (AIM: QPP.L), the brand extension company and a leading practice provider of consultancy, software and outsourcing in its key markets, is pleased to announce that it has appointed Dave Peffer as Group Programme Director with responsibility for the delivery of its portfolio of integration projects.
Dave has spent over 35 years working within the IT industry. Following a successful career in IT and Change Management in the manufacturing and oil industries, Dave spent 10 years with Ernst and Young as a business change consultant, which included management of the IT consultancy team in Scotland.
Following the success of his secondment to General Accident in 1996, he was invited personally by Bob Scott to take up the position of Group IT Director. In this capacity he acted as IT Integration Director throughout the GA/CGU/Norwich Union merger activity, becoming Group IT Director of the resultant Aviva Plc in 2002.
Dave has subsequently been involved in a broad range of strategic integration projects, including the consolidation of General Insurance platforms across 4 businesses within Zurich Insurance and epayments Migration for Lloyds Banking Group, where he was responsible for the successful delivery of the business implementation elements of the HBOS and Lloyds electronic payment systems.
Dave has in depth experience of the challenges facing the Insurance Claims environment, having overseen the Global Claims Initiative within CGNU, which included the acquisition and subsequent roll-out of the first ICM platform from the Innovation Group. This interest was further extended through Aviva's 'Pay As You Drive' scheme, which was an early pilot for the use of telematics technologies in both underwriting and claims.
Rob Terry, Chairman and Chief Executive of Quindell said:"I am delighted that Dave has joined Quindell to support us in such a critical programme of activity. Dave brings to the Group exceptional hands on experience in the fields of IT and corporate integration. His personal knowledge of the Insurance Claims arena and the opportunities and challenges posed by the use of telematics, directly supports our strategic direction."
Commenting on his appointment Dave Peffer said:"It was Quindell's vision and focus on driving forward changes in the insurance industry that attracted me to join the team. I genuinely believe that through the combination of their own advanced technologies, including telematics, their ability to develop and trial new 'insurer friendly' methods of operation within their own businesses and the strategic vision of the Executive Management team, the Group has a clear 'first mover' advantage in the marketplace."
