Liberty Mutual Continues UK Commercial Lines Expansion; Hires Personnel
After launching its drive into the UK’s commercial lines mid-market in March, Liberty Mutual Insurance, the Commercial Lines operation of Liberty Mutual Insurance Europe Limited, has announced several new staff appointments as part of this initiative.
Nine new members of staff join Liberty during April and May to further strengthen the company’s newly-formed commercial division. They are listed as follows:
• Jason Yip and Ben Mahon, who join Liberty’s Manchester office as senior commercial combined underwriters alongside Mike Henderson and Simon Mulvee who join as Broker Account Manager and Business Development Assistant respectively
• Liz Perry and Ruth Briscoe, who join Liberty’s new Birmingham office as commercial combined underwriter and underwriting assistant respectively
• Tracy Harding, who joins the London & South East office as senior commercial combined underwriter alongside Samuel Oatley as business development assistant and Andrew Shepherd as commercial combined underwriter.
A tenth appointment – Mark Alton – joins the Manchester office to serve as regional casualty manager.
Liberty noted that the appointments mark “the rollout of Liberty Mutual Insurance’s new commercial combined product, the first time Liberty has offered property and casualty in a single package in the UK. To help service its growing product offering, Liberty has also bolstered its claims handling capabilities to assist with the handling of less complex claims.”
Liberty Mutual Insurance Europe’s CEO Sean Rocks commented: “Our push in the commercial mid-market means a significant expansion of our commercial team. We made a number of key hires before the launch and we will continue to add to our headcount this year as we build momentum.
“I’m delighted with the way in which our entry into this market has been received by brokers. The feedback has been extremely positive and I feel we’ve created quite a buzz in the sector.”
Liberty Mutual Insurance announced on March 7 that it was launching a strategic push into the UK’s commercial lines mid-market. As part of the move Liberty launched new operations in Birmingham and London and has plans for further expansion this year.
