AXA Commercial Lines has announced the appointment of Karen Osborne to manage its Leeds branch.
Osborne replaces Andy Halstead who has left the business after 25 years for personal reasons.

I want to thank him for his outstanding job in developing the team in Leeds. The branch is in great shape and delivering fantastic numbers.”
He continued: “I’m delighted that we have Karen lined up to take over where Andy has left off. She has invaluable insight into how AXA’s commercial lines brokers operate and hands-on experience of managing a branch. I’m sure that many of our brokers will be really pleased to see her back at the coalface.”
