Insurer says centre underlines commitment to southern region

Brit UK has opened a permanent underwriting centre in Reading.

The team is led by southern regional manager Richard Carter, with Mick Hunter developing business relationships. The group consists of experienced and skilled underwriters, covering all of Brit UK’s product lines, with a broad background and experience in the region’s broker market for many years.

Peter Burrows, chief executive of Brit UK, said: “Since we established a presence in Reading two years ago, we have been delighted by the relationships we have built, particularly with professional, independent brokers in the region. The team’s expertise and enthusiasm has reaped huge rewards and we are proud of the service we are providing.

“Our investment in this new underwriting centre underlines our commitment to the southern region and our UK business. These new premises are ideally located, with state of the art facilities and the space to grow our operations when the time is right.”
