An executive with four decades of experience in the insurance sector has joined the board of accreditation service safeagent as a non-executive director.
Steve Ray retired from Howden Insurance Brokers in 2023 after 17 years as an executive director; he was previously a partner at McCavitt Ray & Company.
safeagent is the largest not-for-profit accreditation scheme for letting agents and managing agents, operates a government-approved Client Money Protection scheme, and describes itself as the only agent organisation with its sole focus on consumer protection.
“I admire safeagent’s total dedication to quality and service, supporting accredited agents to continue to offer a professional service. After many years in financial services, I hope to make a valuable contribution from the wings, and watch the business go from strength-to-strength” says Ray.

And safeagent chief executive Isobel Thomson adds: “We are delighted that Steve has agreed to join the safe-agent board, bringing with him many years of invaluable experience, knowledge and skills.
“With a new Labour government setting out its stall for the private rented sector, the next few months are set to be particularly busy. As an organisation we will be supporting our accredited firms as they navigate the new political climate with whatever new challenges that brings.”
