Arista has established a new South of England office. Julian Holloway will lead the Southampton-based team, which comprises a number of key appointments from major insurers.
Janice Mullan, who joins Arista from Royal & SunAlliance as broker development manager, will work alongside four underwriters — Chris Brooks (from AXA), Gary Chambers, (Towergate), Fiona Badley (Allianz) and Graham Pointer (local broker AE Insurance).
Holloway said: “There is an impressive amount of experience among this team, and everyone brings with them some excellent relationships which I know will go a long way to fulfilling Arista's promise of putting the broker first.”
Arista chief executive Charles Earle said: “We're going from strength to strength with a strong and experienced management team and a growing infrastructure that looks set to take the company forward to its £250m goal. We now have an enviable amount of experience in our three regional offices and a non-legacy constrained operating system. Arista is a business now – it's no longer a start up.”
