New recruits to build relationship with affinity partners

Affinity specialist Junction has appointed four new relationship managers

Gary Noye and Matthew Throne are new senior relationship managers, while Emma Rodulson-Ellis and Francois van Schalkwyk take positions as relationship managers.

All four will be responsible for ongoing liaison with Junction’s affinity partners, which include Post Office®, M&S, HSBC, RAC and Auto Trader.

Noye joins Junction from USP solutions, where he worked on the launch of a new business energy price comparison site. He previously worked for Centurion Claims Management as business development manager, and prior to that spent 12 years working with Towergate.

Throne was previously an account director for Reliance Group, handling retail manpower services to Sainsbury’s for more than four years.

Rodulson-Ellis joins the team from Davenham Group PLC where she was business development manager, establishing and maintaining relationships with key business contacts and clients.

Van Schalkwyk gained his new role via an internal appointment. He has been with the BGL Group for four years, joining as International business manager for the group chairman, working across offices in London and Johannesburg.

Peter Thompson, managing director of Junction, said: “The Junction business has expanded significantly over the last year. Not only have we continued to grow customer numbers for our existing partners, but we have also attracted new clients looking to exploit the huge opportunities for their brands in motor and home insurance.

"Our relationships with partners are our lifeblood – we know that mutual trust and communication are the secret to success. Our new relationship managers will play a crucial role for Junction and we welcome Gary, Matthew, Emma and Francois to the team.”
