William Spiegel, Executive Chairman of R&Q, commented: "I'm delighted to announce Andy's appointment as our new Global CEO of Legacy Insurance. In addition to proven expertise in managing legacy insurance books, Andy also brings strong experience using data and analytics to improve the management of claims, which is an important pillar of our strategy for R&Q. We recently announced the milestone launch of Gibson Re, which will support our ambitions to build further scale in Legacy Insurance while transitioning it into a recurring fee-based business. I look forward to having Andy as our partner at R&Q and working closely with him."

Andy Pinkes said: "I've long admired R&Q and its position as a leader in the legacy insurance space. With the recent launch of Gibson Re, its offering is more relevant than ever. There exist significant opportunities in the market, I am excited by R&Q's ambitions to capitalize on these and look forward to working with William and the R&Q team to help deliver on them for both R&Q and its investors."

About R&Q 

R&Q is a non-life global specialty insurance company operating two core, highly complementary, businesses: Program Management and Legacy Insurance. Both these businesses are leaders in markets with high barriers to entry and significant growth opportunities. Legacy Insurance generates profits and capital extractions from expert management of legacy non-life insurance portfolios. Legacy Insurance writes business on both behalf of R&Q and third-party investors, via Gibson Re, and will transition, over time, to a recurring fee based business. Program Management generates commission income from its licensed (and rated) carriers in the US, EU and the UK, writing niches and profitable program business, largely on behalf of highly rated reinsurers.
