MMA Insurance has expanded its commercial underwriting team in preparation for growing its UK commercial lines offering.
Brian Johnston has been promoted to senior regional underwriter in the Glasgow regional underwriting team.
In the Manchester regional underwriting team, Sally Chamberlain has been promoted to regional underwriter.
The Newcastle regional underwriting team appointed Irene McFarlane with immediate effect to fill the vacant position of senior regional underwriter. She previously worked at RSA, Ecclesiastical and Towergate.
Matthew Giles has joined the Reading regional underwriting team with immediate effect as senior regional underwriter. Giles arrives from AXA.
In addition, Mike Clothier’s central commercial lines underwriting team in Reading has appointed Nick Dinsdale to join with immediate effect as portfolio underwriting manager. He was most recently managing the underwriting of both QBE’s SME book and Evergreen.
MMA's commercial underwriting director, Paul Hodgson, said: “These appointments show a commercial lines team really shifting up a gear. We're attracting some excellent people and giving them the opportunity to build MMA's commercial offering across the country. These moves also allow us to build real strength in depth into our regional teams."
He added: “It’s been three years since we launched MMA as a highly credible alternative to the other major commercial lines insurers. Right now we are reviewing the progress we’ve made and are preparing for the next phase of our drive. We’re in the middle of a major piece of research now and the results of this will feed into announcements later this year.”
