NIG adds three in Birmingham

NIG has strengthened its Birmingham office with three new appointments as part of the restructure of the business announced earlier this year.

Mandie Jarrett, John Flaherty and Wayne Gadd have been appointed as senior business development managers - new positions designed to support key broker relationships across the region.

Before joining NIG, Jarrett was regional development director at Heath Lambert, where shey launched the company’s new city centre Birmingham office.

Flaherty joins NIG from Zurich where he was a senior account executive.

Gadd joined NIG in 1997. He has been promoted from within the insurer having previously worked from the Leicester office as a field underwriter responsible for building relationships and developing business with East Midland brokers.

The team will be headed up by Andy Jones who recently joined NIG from Primary General as area musiness manager – Midlands region.

Jones said: “We’ve got a very strong team in the Midlands now and will be increasing the time we spend face to face with brokers across the area with these appointments. The early signs are very encouraging indeed and working closely with our underwriting team we have already seen evidence of our increased appetite when we secured a large Property Owners portfolio worth almost £1m from AXA Insurance.

"I am very confident indeed that we have the experience and the underwriting support to make a real difference to brokers in the Midlands area.”
