Commercial broker Bollington has appointed Andrew McKellar to its underwriting division as senior motor underwriter to further its aim of becoming the largest niche and affinity intermediary in the UK.
The appointment follows a 70% year-to-date increase in revenue across the Bollington Wholesale division and its online wholesale facility Compuquote.
McKellar has extensive motor underwriting experience including fleet, motor trade and specialist schemes. He joins from RSA where he was underwriter for Motorbility, RSA’s largest fleet partner, which caters for drivers with disabilities covering half a million cars. At Bollington McKellar will be responsible for the continued push into the fleet and self-drive hire markets via Compuquote’s fleet management facility.
He will also be responsible for the further expansion of Bollington Wholesale, as managing director Chris Patterson explained: “Andrew brings with him a wealth of experience that will not only help to sustain profitable growth but also expand our product set into motor trade and courier.”
The growth of Bollington Wholesale is in line with Chris Patterson’s remit to grow the wholesale division and, as part of that, to extend Compuquote’s product suite to a number of new niche areas.
