About Insurance DataLab
Insurance DataLab in a Nutshell
Insurance DataLab was launched in June 2021 by Matt Scott and Dan King. The platform was developed in response to frustration during their time working together at Insurance Times about the lack of available data in a comparable and digestible format on the performance of insurance companies.
Matt is an award-winning journalist who started his career as an Actuarial Associate Consultant at Aon. As Insight Editor of Insurance Times, Matt reported widely on the UK general insurance market, focusing particularly on the financial and regulatory landscape.
Dan has worked in business-to-business information services for more than 20 years including senior roles at Centaur and Emap. Dan was the Publisher of Insurance Times for many years and later worked with consumer group Fairer Finance before establishing a boutique consultancy business.
