Story link: BGL Group announces new executive chairman and CEO
The internet has brought many advantages to anyone looking to obtain most types of insurance.
Besides the convenience of buying your policy from the comfort of your armchair, it has more
importantly, allowed us to obtain quotes from numerous insurers. A few years back you had to
complete an online form for each quote, that was a very boring task and we all was ready to give up
after just a few quotes. These days we have a number of insurance price comparison web sites that
will come up with a heap of quotes after we've filled in just one form...what a relief!. Clicking on the

The BGL Group today announced that Peter Winslow is to become Executive Chairman of the BGL
Group, and Matthew Donaldson will take the role of Chief Executive Officer. The changes will be
effective as of July 1.
Peter Winslow has been Chief Executive of the Group since 1995, and has led the Group through an
ongoing period of significant growth. He oversaw the company's transition from underwriting to
become an intermediary back in 1997, and led BGL's expansion into new areas from claims
management and insurance partnerships, to aggregation and international markets.
Matthew Donaldson joined the Group in 1999 following the acquisition of a high street broker chain.
He led the development and execution of the Group's e-commerce entry strategy, resulting in the
exponential growth of the existing intermediary businesses and the creation of
comparethemarket.com. He became Group Director in 2005 and Group Chief Operating Officer in
2010.
Peter Winslow said: "I have been in this post for just over 18 years, and have presided over and
enjoyed being part of massive change in our Group from its days as a direct motor insurer to the
business you see today. It has been challenging and it's also been a lot of fun, and I look back and
think how fortunate I was to join the Group.
"The time is now right for me to take a more strategic role and become less involved in the day-t-
-day running of the Group. Matthew has demonstrated exceptional leadership ability as COO. I have
total confidence in his drive, commercialism, intellect and passion for the business. He will make a
first class CEO."
