Seventh office opens as Arista continues expansion

Arista Insurance has opened an office in Leeds.

There are four staff in the office, but Arista wants to make more appointments in the coming months.

The team consists of broker development manager Neil Wormald, senior underwriter Steve Ford, motor fleet underwriter Pamela O’Loughlin and senior underwriter Martin Holdsworth.

Arista chief executive Charles Earle said: “Leeds has been on our radar for some time so it is great to announce that Arista now has a formal presence in the city. It was crucial first that we had the right team in place and the critical mass of broker support before we opened a permanent office."

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.

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.
Many congratulations to all the worthy winners and as always, huge thanks to our sponsors for their support and our judges for their expertise.
