“Carbon is very much a people business and Emily’s appointment is a very good example of the breadth of talent we are attracting as we continue to evolve rapidly as a leading technology-driven MGU and Lloyd’s Syndicate.

Emily brings a wealth of office management experience to the role as well as a very strong background in communications and marketing – both of which will be invaluable as we continue to grow our business and capitalise on the opportunities the current market presents. I am also particularly pleased that a big part of Emily’s focus will be developing and driving our ESG policy – values that we place at the heart of our business and are keen to build out in line with our growth ambitions.

I am delighted to welcome Emily to the Carbon team and I know that we will benefit considerably from her wide-ranging experience and expertise.”

I have already been impressed by the progressive, welcoming and forward-thinking attitude of the team, and the culture of collaboration and entrepreneurship that Carbon is fostering.

I am also particularly looking forward to using my media and marketing background to help position Carbon as a future-proof company that is as impactful as any big brand business.”
