Argent appoints new London director

Argent, a division of the Parabis group and a non-legal services provider for insurers, has appointed Chris Scott as business development director in their London office.

Scott joins Argent from global vacant property specialists VPS, where he held the role of business development manager and financial markets leader. Previous positions also include Willis head of UK and Ireland claims.

In his newly-created role, Scott will develop existing and new client relationships and maximise the effectiveness of all services.

Argent managing director Neil Ventris said: “The scope of what we have to offer under the Argent brand has flown under the radar for too long. Chris will have a central role to play in ensuring that existing clients benefit from all that we have to offer and that we are effective in reaching new clients. We are delighted to have someone with his experience and expertise on board.”

Scott said: “I am very excited by the challenges of this new role. The Argent businesses have a great deal to offer individually and together, so getting that message into the insurance market is something I am very much looking forward to.”
