Furthermore, Joslyn will boost Superscript’s multi-carrier technology and data science services. This ensures the firm will continue to deliver innovative products and services in the sector.

Superscript chief executive comment

Cameron Shearer, co-founder and CEO of Superscript, said: “The SME economy is diverse and complex, requiring innovative technical solutions to meet insurance demands. With the addition of Chris and Tim, Superscript has never been in a stronger position to capture significant market share in the UK, and increasingly, beyond.

“The experience and passion they bring in their respective fields further elevates Superscript as the challenger in business insurance, where technical and operational legacy is increasingly holding back the delivery of better customer experiences and better results for insurers. Building on our success to date, we’re dedicated to driving significant advancements for both the insurance industry and our valued customers.”
