Clear hires five as it continues to grow

Broker Clear Insurance has hired five new executives as part of its growth strategy.

Alan Hood and Cavan Keogh have joined the broker’s Holbeach office to help build the commercial and agricultural accounts in Lincolnshire and surrounding areas.

Clear established a presence in Lincolnshire through the acquisition of Lynas Vokes Insurance Brokers in February 2010.

Rick Allen and Alan Richardson have joined Clear’s New Malden operation to support the continuing growth of its commercial business.

Nick Ainsworth has been appointed to Clear’s successful property team to drive new business opportunities.

Clear chief executive Howard Lickens (pictured) said: “These appointments demonstrate our ability to recruit quality people to support our growth strategy.  Even at a time of ecomomic uncertainty, Clear continues to grow both organically and through acquisition which is testament to our successful business and commitment to customer service.”
