Arista has established a new South of England office. Julian Holloway will lead the Southampton-based team, which comprises a number of key appointments from major insurers.
Janice Mullan, who joins Arista from Royal & SunAlliance as broker development manager, will work alongside four underwriters — Chris Brooks (from AXA), Gary Chambers, (Towergate), Fiona Badley (Allianz) and Graham Pointer (local broker AE Insurance).
Holloway said: “There is an impressive amount of experience among this team, and everyone brings with them some excellent relationships which I know will go a long way to fulfilling Arista's promise of putting the broker first.”
Arista chief executive Charles Earle said: “We're going from strength to strength with a strong and experienced management team and a growing infrastructure that looks set to take the company forward to its £250m goal. We now have an enviable amount of experience in our three regional offices and a non-legacy constrained operating system. Arista is a business now – it's no longer a start up.”
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
