Liberty aiming to strengthen its coverage in the North of England

LMI Leeds

Liberty Mutual Insurance has made four appointments at its Leeds office, which officially opened today.

Andrew Griggs has been appointed as casualty underwriter, Stephen Bate as property underwriter, James Seal as commercial combined underwriter and Eleanor Slater as underwriting assistant.

Liberty said the new Leeds office will help grow its mid-market commercial lines business in the North.

The Leeds operations will be managed by John Dakin, branch manager, who joined the company last year.

LMIE chief executive Sean Rocks said: “The opening of the Leeds office together with the new appointments we have made will further drive the commercial lines momentum we’ve created so far.

“This latest move reinforces LMI’s commitment to the UK regional market and to our brokers by giving them access to knowledgeable and experienced experts in their local area.”
