Addition of Clive Roberts completes board

Carole Nash has completed a strengthening of its Board with the appointment of Clive Roberts as financial director.

His appointment finalises Carole Nash’s Board following the arrival of new managing director David Newman in September. Newman has recently confirmed the recruitment of ex-Roadsure managing director Simon Jackson as commercial director.

Roberts is a chartered accountant and ecommerce specialist.

Commenting on his appointment, Roberts said: “Carole Nash is an incredibly strong, market-leading brand with great potential for growth in both personal and commercial lines territories, so naturally I’m delighted to be joining the Board at this time. There is a particularly strong executive team in place and a highly dynamic management team ready to meet the challenge of taking the business forward, building on impressive brand loyalty and a solid book which provides a great cross marketing platform.”

Newman added: “Clive and Simon’s arrival means we now have all the pieces in place to push the Carole Nash brand forward. We have a strong business plan which will see greater emphasis placed upon e-commerce, an area in which myself, Simon and Clive are all experienced. We also see that we can secure much greater impact in markets outside of our core motorcycle insurance business into which we have already diversified, such as motor, household and travel.”
