Alex Maloney has been running the Lancashire group of companies for six-and-a-half years.
For much of that time the business has been keeping its powder dry waiting for a moment to exploit a change in market conditions and resume growth.
That moment seemed to come in Q2 of this year, with a new equity capital raise.
In this interview I ask Alex all about his plans to deploy this renewed firepower.
I found him invigorated and looking to expand aggressively and diversify in the new year as large segments of the market come back and business flows change.
I also got to know a little more of the singular and strong character that has made this business both an outlier and an outperformer since its foundation 15 years ago.
