We are committed to growing our business and believe that by better understanding the needs of our brokers, we can help them grow their business. Having worked as both a broker and an underwriter Conor is the perfect fit for this role and we feel his appointment will bring much benefit to our brokers and our business.”
Finn commented: “We have spent the last couple of years refining our product offering in London but now is the time in our evolution to look for new and additional growth opportunities. I am delighted to take up the challenge to help grow our international business.”
