Specialist Risk Group welcomes two senior hires following its entry to the Credit & Political Risk market

This development follows SRG’s agreement with Tysers to transfer its Credit & Political Risk (re)insurance business, led by market veteran John Lentaigne, to SRG. John and his team bring deep technical expertise, longstanding insurer relationships, and a strong reputation for delivering tailored solutions to complex risk challenges. Their move to SRG represents a clear vote of confidence in SRG’s platform, people, and long-term vision.

Ed Nicholson joins SRG with extensive experience advising banks, funds, and corporates on structured and trade finance transactions. His track record at JLT and more recently at Marsh, where he developed strong relationships with global clients and markets, brings critical insight to SRG’s growth ambitions.

Matt Solley brings over two decades of experience in political risk and structured credit, most recently leading Gallagher’s team in the sector. His broking background, combined with a global outlook and deep market knowledge, significantly enhances SRG’s ability to support clients navigating complex geopolitical and economic risks.

This move is part of SRG’s broader strategy to be the natural home for specialist talent and to create world-class propositions in complex and evolving lines of insurance. With further investment underway in talent and infrastructure, the Credit & Political Risk team is set to become a major force in the global market, offering innovative, client-focused solutions to corporates, financial institutions, public agencies, exporters, and commodity traders.
