New sales director and marketing boss for insurer

Hiscox has appointed Ross Dingwall as sales director of Hiscox UK with effect from 1 August.

Dingwall began his career at Hiscox over eight years ago in Glasgow, growing that region’s Art and Private Client account more than tenfold.

He went on to set up the Colchester branch in 2005 delivering significant profitable growth and establishing key broker relationships within two years before he was promoted to national sales manager in 2007.

The group has also announced the promotion of Glenn Caton to director of marketing and Hiscox Direct.

Steve Langan, managing director for Hiscox UK, said: “This is a well deserved promotion for Ross, whose time with Hiscox has been defined by energy, edge and delivery. I’m confident his leadership will deliver growth for Hiscox and our broker partners.

“Since joining in 2006, Glenn has driven the highest standards of professionalism and rigour across marketing and sales. His expertise will continue to make Hiscox a great brand to sell.”
