   Proud sponsors of Southwark Stars

   Welcome to the third episode of Nexus Connect. This is a series where I will invite storytellers and experts from across the specialty insurance market to discuss the rapid rate of industry innovation. All things people, tech, and change. As I continue with my introduction of Nexus Connect, I wanted to share something we are very excited about. After so many years helping professional people with their careers, I also wanted to ensure that Nexus was able to give back in some way or another. With our headquarters in Southwark, I started looking locally and came across a worthy cause in the Southwark Stars Disability Football Club (https://southwarkstars.co.uk/). Throughout the 2024 and 2025 seasons, we will be sponsoring the inner city team with training kits, match day kits for both the men's and women's teams that make up 70 players. Our amazing marketing team will be running their social media, and website and our team at Pioneer Search (https://www.pioneer-search.com/) will be set on being their loudest cheerleaders. As part of any partnership, we will be looking at ways we can give back and support disabled players with little to no income, helping them to meet, connect, and play football, and I hope some of our community members will join us in support of this worthy cause. More details will be published on the Nexus Connect site and updated regularly as our support grows. For now, I would like to thank you for taking a few minutes to listen to my Nexus Connect introductions, and I hope you share my energy over the coming months.” - Mark Warburton Director of Pioneer and Nexus Connect Community Manager

   The purpose of Nexus Connect

   Welcome to the second episode of Nexus Connect. This is a series where I will invite storytellers and experts from across the specialty insurance market to discuss the rapid rate of industry innovation, all things people, tech and change. Nexus is powered by Pioneer Search, a business I launched a little over 10 years ago. When I launched Pioneer, I used an online thesaurus to create the name. Taking a modern twist to that, this time I chose to use ChatGPT and I landed on Nexus, which I now learn is Latin for binding together.  Nexus is often used to denote a common connection or link, intersection, or meeting point, and I immediately felt this is what I was hoping to achieve, a common shared community where like-minded peers could connect, meet, and discuss their worlds. I believe the specialty insurance sector is about as unique as any industry out there, with so many organisations within the same postcode. We know that it is a highly relationship-driven marketplace, and the face-to-face nature of the London and Lloyds market is what sets it apart from other financial services, but I haven't heard anyone championing the tech and change teams that move the sector forward and innovate. While network-driven growth is key to any insurer, MGA or broker in EC3, we mustn't forget the technical departments who are developing our industry, the change teams that are facilitating new projects, and the full IT unit that is simultaneously reducing the cost of doing business and enabling easier processing. It is to this end, the purpose of Nexus is to use the power of people to build a community that talks more, shares stories, and creates a forum that will only improve outcomes for all involved. For now, I would like to thank you for taking a few minutes to listen to my Nexus Connect introduction, and I hope you will share my energy over the coming months. - Mark Warburton, CEO of Pioneer and Nexus Connect Community Manager

   Introducing Nexus Connect

   Welcome to the first episode of Nexus Connect. This is a series where I will invite storytellers and experts from across the specialty insurance market to discuss the rapid rate of industry innovation. Subjects such as moving to the cloud, the evolving role of a CISO within insurance, all things data and asking how AI will shape the future of the market. I'm your host and community manager, Mark Warburton, and I've spent the last 25 years discussing all things people, tech and change. I thought I would kick off with an introduction from me and share what is Nexus Connect. The past three years, we've seen so much change. The modern workplace has witnessed the rise of the remote worker. Meeting on video has become the new norm. The specialty insurance market has seen the rise of disruptors entering the market with cloud native infrastructures. CEOs are questioning why so many desks are empty on Mondays and Fridays. Managers are being told to bring back workers to the office whilst they themselves are enjoying the new ways of working. In my day job, I'm constantly asked what is going on across the market? What are other people doing? In a pre-LinkedIn world, we would create meetups, newsletters, sharing anecdotes and gossip, provide decision makers with invaluable data to aid their own thought leadership. It occurred to me late last year that I don't see anyone doing this for the unsung heroes of tech and change across the London market. Nexus is intended to be a peer-to-peer, not-for-profit community hub. We'll be sharing industry insights, publishing a unique specialty market salary survey with commentary around trends, running monthly meetups and inviting your peers to share their stories in person. For now, I'd like to thank you for taking a few minutes to listen to my Nexus Connect introduction and I hope you will share my energy over the coming months. - Mark Warburton, CEO of Pioneer and Nexus Connect Community Manager To find out more, visit: www.connectwithnexus.co.uk
