Lyndon Wood - King of his castle
Lyndon Wood, chairman of Caerphilly-based Moorhouse Group, is embarking on a hyper-growth strategy that is set to double his book by the end of the year. Andrew Tjaardstra meets a man focused on organic growth and speeding up insurers
As private equity piles into insurance broking like there is no tomorrow, Lyndon Wood is as far removed from the secretive, pension fund-funded buy-out firms as you can get. Almost debt free, based in picturesque south Wales and without a tie in sight, Mr Wood is the antithesis of the private equity suits that have created alliances with some of the leading personalities in broking and are poring over brokers' financial results with many hundreds of millions to spend.
