Ecclesiastical in triple London hire

Ecclesiastical has appointed two new underwriters and a new regional sales manager in its London regional centre underwriting team.

Underwriters Laura Pennick and Tina Atkins have joined this month and will service and develop Ecclesiastical’s broker business within the M25 region.

Pennick was previously with Allianz’s London market property owners team.

Atkins previously worked for Ecclesiastical at its Cambridge office, then moved to become underwriting manager south at UK General (formerly Primary General).

Hannah Taylor, whose most recent role with Ecclesiastical was national broker relationship executive and who’s been with the company for more than 10 years, has been appointed into the role of national broker and regional sales manager.

National broker and regional director Paul Glasper, who heads the London regional centre, said: “The arrival of Laura, Tina and Hannah represents a significant boost for our City-based team. All three are highly experienced professionals familiar with the London market and regional business.

"They’ve also all built strong relationships with their broking partners in the past. I’m confident they will be a great asset to our London team, will help us grow our business and will provide an excellent level of service to brokers.”
