She has ’excellent knowledge of the complexities’ in the HNW market, says chief underwriting officer
Managing general agent (MGA) Iprism has appointed Victoria Blanche as its new private clients manager.
The role will see Blanche lead the MGA’s team of mid-high net worth (HNW) underwriters and oversee its growth in this sector.
The firm has already made moves to help with growth in this area, with it recently becoming Biba’s high-value home insurance scheme provider.
And Iprism said that Blanche would be key in its growth plans as she will help strengthen the MGA’s private clients team.
“Iprism prides itself on delivering exceptional service backed by technical underwriting skill,” chief underwriting officer Aaron Woodhams said.
“Victoria’s experience further strengthens our private clients team and I’m excited to see that part of our business continue to grow in the coming years.”
