In the debate about how the UK should reform Solvency II, with or without Brexit, one of the biggest parts has been played by Julian Adams, group regulatory and government relations director at Prudential. Having previously held the role of executive director of insurance supervision at the Bank of England, he certainly knows his way around the legislation and is keen to use his influence to create a less punishing regime for British underwriters. He currently sits on the board of the Association of British Insurers, and is on the strategy and advisory board of Cass Business School.
