New Chief Executive at TT Club takes up the reins

Kevin King has been confirmed as Chief Executive Officer of the specialist transport and logistics insurer TT Club, completing a planned move announced last year.  Acting as Deputy CEO to Charles Fenton over the last year, King and Fenton have worked closely to complete a smooth and efficient transfer of responsibilities. He has officially taken up this position from 1st August.

Originally based in the United States, King has long held positions within Thomas Miller managed businesses, and transferred to London in 2015 to lead the Europe, Middle East and Africa region at TT.  More recently he served as the insurer’s Chief Operating Officer.

Out-going CEO Charles Fenton, in confirming the move, said, “Kevin is well-positioned to lead TT into a challenging future.  His vast experience of the mutual insurance model, vision in harnessing new technologies and well-honed management skills will ensure TT continues to evolve in step with both global transport developments and a dynamic insurance market.  The TT main board and I have every confidence in his leadership abilities and I welcome him to his new role.”

Fenton himself will remain close to the business.  He has been Chairman of Thomas Miller Holdings since 2021 and will continue as a member of the TT Club Board and in the promotion of the Club internationally.

Kevin King is eager to help guide TT through the next phase of its 56-year history saying, “It has long been a privilege to work for, and now lead, a purpose driven organisation. The Club’s mission to make the global transport and logistics industry safer, more secure and more sustainable guides everything we do. We are well positioned financially, technologically and especially with our established expertise around the world to succeed both as an insurer and a positive force for change in the industry. I am grateful to Charles for his mentoring and leadership over my career, and thankful he will remain close to the business.”
