I am delighted Tim has accepted the chairmanship position and I look forward to working with him.” Ken Davidson, outgoing Chairman of the LMRC, said: “I am delighted to have been involved from the very beginning of LMRC and to see it prosper. I am confident in handing over to Tim who is a well respected market practitioner.” Tim joined Howden, part of the Hyperion Insurance Group in February 2002 as director of marketing.
