UK Insurtech, Send Technology Solutions, has announced the appointment of Chris Batterham as the company’s new Chairman of the Board.

Send, which is a rapidly growing InsurTech software company based in London with global reach, has developed an innovative connected workbench that enables re/insurers and MGAs to automate, streamline and optimise their underwriting operations.

As a result of designing its business model to meet marketplace demands, Send has already expanded significantly, and has plans to increase its global presence through a number of strategic moves over the next few months.

The SaaS platform brings complex data out of silos into one solution, providing a consolidated view throughout the lifecycle. Its automation enables new and mature insurers to eliminate rekeying, improve predictability, and work smarter. 

Battheram, who will play a key role in driving the new service rollouts, joins Send founders, Andy Moss, Ben Huckel and Matt McGrillis, as well as non-executive director, Darryl Catts, on the Board.

As the first non-executive director for BetFair, Batterham assisted the World’s largest betting exchange reach IPO, valued at US$1.72bn in 2016. He also trained as a Chartered Accountant with Arthur Andersen and went on to lead the floatation of Unipalm plc as CFO in 1994, the first internet company to IPO.

Batterham experience will ve invaluable in guiding Send’s three founders to achieve their growth objectives by providing strategic guidance as the company enters new international markets. 

Speaking about the appointment of Batterham as Chairman, Send Co-founder Andy Moss explained, “Send has grown rapidly in a short space of time and we are now scaling-up to the next phase of our development.
