Primary Group's personal accident and income protection underwriter, Europea, has made two senior-level appointments.

Keith Thorogood will join Europea as a new underwriter, while Chris Farley-West is to expand his client services involvement through his Farleywest Consultancy.

Primary Group chief executive Mike King said: "We required two very specific senior roles to develop Europea and accelerate growth.

"Our challenge to adapt to a changing market and our customers' needs required an experienced underwriter and client services consultant to further develop our niche in the professional sports arena and expand general accident and healthcare insurance activities."
