Capita lands Williams from Junction

Capita Insurance Distribution has appointed Martin Williams as business development director.

Williams will be responsible for driving business in new and existing markets with a specific focus on developing strategic partnerships.

He will oversee Capita's existing strategic partners and work to source new business leads. Williams will also contribute to the development of Capita's affinity arm.

Prior to joining Capita, he worked as head of business development at Junction, part of the BGL Group.

Stuart Anderson, sales & marketing director at Capita Insurance Distribution, said: “As we enter a New Year in which we can finally claim to be emerging from the recession, we are committed to ensuring our existing customers reap the benefits of our services and that the business can successfully penetrate new markets.

"With his experience, we are confident Martin will help our business to implement its key strategies and continue to increase its share in the market place.”

Williams added: “I look forward to working closely with the sales and marketing teams to develop a pipeline of new opportunities. No-one can deny that we have been operating in difficult economic circumstances but I’m delighted that I have been presented with this opportunity and it is a challenge I embrace.”
