Tony Bloomer has been appointed as manager of Ecclesiastical Insurance's Birmingham regional underwriting centre.
Bloomer joins the team from Ecclesiastical's Gloucester head office where he was divisional marketing manager.
Prior to joining Ecclesiastical in 2004, Bloomer was head of marketing and business development at Hill House Hammond.
Bloomer commented: “Birmingham is a major UK insurance centre, so I'm looking forward to being right in the thick of things. We've got a very strong team of expert underwriters in Birmingham so I'm looking forward to working with brokers to build business – particularly in our niche areas of charities, schools, care homes and heritage properties.”
