’Having worked closely with insurer clients and within counter fraud environments for nearly two decades, I have seen first hand the value of collaboration across the market,’ says newly appointed board director The Insurance Fraud Bureau (IFB) has appointed Colin Bushell and Stephen Long to its board of directors as the organisation looks to strengthen its leadership team amid evolving fraud threats. Bushell, co-founder and director of Zebra Law, and Long, chief operating officer at Covéa Insurance, join the board following a recruitment process opened to the IFB’s c-suite membership earlier this year. The IFB said its board plays a key role in shaping the organisation’s strategic direction while representing member interests across the insurance sector. The board unites senior leaders from across the insurance industry, bringing together a wide breadth of expertise that includes technical fraud detection, claims management, data and information security, strategic risk, customer experience and broader sector insight. Bushell and Long bring experience spanning key areas such as supplier and customer relationship management, marketing, partnerships, people leadership and business strategy. Collaboration focus Commenting on his appointment, Bushell said collaboration remained one of the most effective tools available to the industry in tackling fraud.

Bushell added that shared intelligence and effective partnerships would remain critical as fraudsters adopt increasingly sophisticated methods. Long, meanwhile, said he was committed to supporting the IFB’s work to strengthen the industry’s collective response to fraud and improve customer trust. “With approaching 25 years of experience in the insurance industry, including leadership roles across claims, IT, operations and organisational transformation, I believe I can make a meaningful contribution,” he said. The IFB said both appointments would help support its ongoing work with insurers and industry partners as it seeks to enhance fraud prevention efforts and deliver value to members through greater cooperation and intelligence-led activity.
