Charles Earle start-up Arista has appointed three senior underwriters at its newly opened Bristol office.
Sonya Hawkins, Gareth Hodgins and Spencer Flood will work under south-west regional manager David Aslin to develop business in the south-west and South Wales regions.
Head of regional operations Euros Jones said: “The location and staff were selected in response to broker requirements. The proximity of our staff to the local markets means we can deliver superior customer service to our brokers and their clients.”
Aslin added: “This team represents everything that is exciting about Arista – not least strength and experience. Everyone has subscribed to Arista's commitment to redefine the way insurers interact with brokers. Each team member will reinforce the strength of our business model which is built upon exceptional and close relationships with brokers and intermediaries, and with our shareholding insurers as well as our suppliers.”
