Formerly regional director of Property Investors for RSA, Withers takes up his new role in MMA’s Reading office with immediate effect and reports to MMA’s head of distribution, Ian Josephs.

Josephs said: “This is an important time for MMA as we grow and develop innovative trading relationships with our broker partners. Chris' appointment is critical to delivering our ambitious plans. We were looking for an industry expert who could shape our trading offering – Chris fits the bill perfectly and will be a great asset to the MMA team.”
