Arag announces London-based senior hire who will work with MGAs and brokers

Legal expenses insurance provider Arag has appointed Peter King as its new London market account manager.

In his new role, King will work with MGAs, brokers and underwriting agencies to build legal protection and assistance propositions tailored to meet the needs of their specific target markets.

His appointment comes as Arag looks to strengthen its presence in the city.

Matt Warren, Arag’s head of broker and MGA sales, said: “Arag has worked hard to build strong relationships in the London market, where our focus on innovation and flexibility resonates with established players and startups alike.

“I know that King will only extend that success.”

Experience

King has 35 years of industry experience, having worked in account management, underwriting and business development roles for several major insurers.

As well as spells at Axa, Aviva and Travelers, he spent nine years with Allianz, including five years in an international consultancy role in Munich.

After returning to the UK, he worked with RSA, HSB and Great Lakes, as well as some time in the legal expenses sector with Abbey Legal Protection.

Warren said: “It’s great to have King join our team in London.

“His experience speaks for itself and I know that his commitment and deep understanding of the market will be a great benefit to Arag and our business partners in the city.”
