Hastings names Latter as new insurer head

Hastings Direct has appointed Liz Latter as head of insurer development.

She will lead the development of the Hastings panel proposition and insurer relationships.

Latter has previously held business development and leadership roles with Travelers, Lloyd’s, Equity, The Broker Network, SSP and CGI and most recently was director of business development at Sapiens. 

She will work closely with Adrian Parry, who has led Hastings’ panel development activities over the last two years.

Hastings said Parry will be stepping back from his full time responsibilities with Hastings early in 2012, but will continue to support the business, in addition to pursuing other outside interests.

Tobias van der Meer, managing director, Hastings Direct: “Liz has extensive knowledge of working with insurance companies. Her knowledge of the industry, systems and her contacts will be instrumental in helping us build the panel and develop products that will benefit both our partners and our customers. I would just like to take this opportunity to welcome her to the team.”
