The next hearing will be on 7 January
CGI Insurance’s commercial director Dan Wilkinson has denied allegations against him that he “grabbed a woman’s bottom and crotch” over her clothes, as reported by Staffordshire Live.
Wilkinson now faces trial and has elected to have a jury.
The incident happened in November 2017 at a Hilton Bankside hotel in London at an event, it is alleged.
Independent broker CGI Insurance was acquired by Partners& in March 2020 as part of a series of acquisitions that formed the chartered broking group, which controls £65m worth of gross written premium.
Speaking about the recent hearing relating to Wilkinson, Phil Barton, chief executive at Partners& told Insurance Times: ”That the alleged incident took place three years ago, prior to the acquisition of CGI.
”We are at the beginning of a legal process, which we all need to respect and allow to run its course.”
CGI Insurance has also been contacted for comment.
The next hearing will be on 7 January 2021 at Lavender Hill Magistrates Court.
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
