Flexible resource for when you need it
From immediate short-term interim actuaries to longer-term arrangements, our flexible resource model across all levels – from experienced actuaries to more junior analysts - allows you to scale up or down to safeguard delivery whilst minimising permanent team costs. This budget-friendly alternative to consultants also avoids the compliance and onboarding complexities of using individual contractors.

We offer outsourcing solutions for policy servicing and small actuarial functions, providing technical support, financial reporting, and modelling services.

Actuarial project delivery
We apply our wider capabilities and expertise to cross-functional programmes and projects, including for regulatory change – such as IFRS17 implementation – system migrations, end-to-end complaint handling and remediation. Across multiple clients we’ve corrected 270 legacy policy errors which impacted over 800,000 policies, handling complex redress calculations that have totalled over £400million paid out in redress payments.
06
Transformation
With extensive expertise in managing major system migrations and transformation projects, we’ve migrated over 400,000 policies across 167 product variants to new policy administration systems. In the process, we’ve removed legacy over-engineering by rationalising over 20% of the calculations, saving over 250 days of development and testing, and significantly simplifying the product and calculation landscape.
Rescuing a costly migration for a health client through expert actuarial services
Recently we worked with a health client that had embarked on phase 2 of a major digital transformation programme and were beginning to migrate their complex payments system. Through the migration they began to see discrepancies of £6m a month. We used expert data analysis and calculations to identify and rectify this urgent problem. Our services that supported the client saved them millions of pounds and have enabled them to have a stable financial future.
