Chartered engineer Tom Lawrie-Fussey (pictured) has joined LexisNexis Risk Solutions as automotive director of the company’s UK and Ireland insurance operations.
“I have worked with LexisNexis Risk Solutions for a number of years and have always been impressed by the business’s passion to find new data-led insights that empower the insurance sector to make data-driven decisions,” said Lawrie-Fussey, who was sales engineering head at online car buying and selling marketplace Cazoo Data Services.
“These ambitions match my own, and I am proud to join a business that is invested in helping insurance providers to continually and effectively evaluate the risk and history of the vehicle, as well as that of the drivers, especially at such an exciting and challenging time for the motor insurance market.”
For Martyn Mathews, senior director of personal and commercial lines for the UK and Ireland, the appointment is proof of LexisNexis’s continued commitment and investment in exploring innovative sources of highly granular vehicle-derived data for the insurance market.

“Tom will use his industry expertise to further innovate on behalf of the industry, by fully utilising his expertise in motor data and deep knowledge of the challenges facing the insurance market today to help our customers improve their pricing accuracy, reduce their losses, and better support customers at claim.”
