Standard Club Expands Greater China presence

The Standard Club has expanded its presence in Greater China after Standard Asia, its Singapore-based subsidiary, gained authorisation earlier this year to carry on insurance business in Hong Kong. Standard Asia has established a Hong Kong branch which is led by chief executive officer Michael Turnbull, a legally-qualified insurance industry veteran who was previously chief executive officer of another International Group P&I Club in Hong Kong. Michael, who holds independent non-executive director positions on the boards of two Hong Kong insurance companies, reports to David Roberts, managing director of Standard Asia.
