Harrison joins from Towergate Coverex where he was managing director. Prior to this he spent 17 years at specialist event insurance broker Woodgate & Partners, before managing the sale of the business to Towergate in 2008.

CCV chief executive Michael Rea said: “John has a great track record in delivering results based on positive brand awareness, well brokered insurer deals and strong new business pipeline development.

"These are the same ingredients we combine at CCV to support our existing broker businesses and appeal to new ones, so we’re looking forward to harnessing the benefit of John’s skills and experience.”

Harrison added: “CCV has a great pedigree and I can’t wait to get involved. We will be looking to support our broker businesses with new product solutions, offering motivation and training for improved performance and sharing best practice across the group.”
