Over the last two years we have seen exceptional growth in our developing propositions. This has been particularly strong within the areas of Commercial Motor, Agriculture and Prestige as our hard to replicate propositions gain increasing traction with brokers.
We're therefore pleased to announce a number of new appointments, and some promotions, across these teams.
These appointments reflect our ability to attract and nurture underwriting talent as well as our commitment to developing our specialist propositions and expanding our regional footprint.
