Lorega steps up recruitment drive

Claims advocate Lorega has further strengthened its sales team with the appointment of David Gribbon to manage the company’s relationships with its panel of brokers in the north of England. Mr. Gribbon has a wealth of experience in the commercial insurance field having been involved at a senior level in both underwriting and business development for AXA.

This follows Lorega’s recent announcement of the appointment of John Sims as CEO who has a clear remit to fuel the growth of the business over the next two years.

Commenting on Mr. Gribbon’s appointment Mr. Sims said: “We are very lucky to have prised David away from AXA and he will be a very valuable member of the team. He not only brings deep and relevant business experience but also very strong broker relationships with many existing Lorega brokers and many that will be new to us.”
