Amanda Blanc, distribution and customer service director at Groupama is leaving the company to take up a senior management position at Towergate Underwriting.

Since joining the Group in December 2003, Blanc has played a leading role in supporting the successful development of Groupama and in raising its profile within the UK insurance market and among the company's business partners.

François-Xavier Boisseau, managing director, Groupama said: “Amanda's influence on our business has been significant and we are very grateful to her for her achievements.

"Whilst we will be disappointed to lose her, she leaves a strong and highly focused team that is very well placed to drive our growing success. Amanda has a great opportunity at Towergate and we wish her every success in her new role.”

Groupama said it is currently reviewing its options with regard to Amanda's replacement and hopes to identify her successor over the coming weeks.

Also, James Hart, formerly head of marketing for the Towergate Partnership, has taken up a new position as managing director of Towergate Risk Solutions and Towergate Camerasure based in Fareham.
