Commenting on the appointment, Sean Rocks said: “Richard’s a highly skilled operator who knows the UK Commercial Property market inside out. In this sharply focused role, he will be able to add real impetus to our Commercial push and further enhance our reputation with our broker partners.”
Richard Coxon added: “As we continue to expand our Commercial division, we make no apologies for maintaining an emphasis on strong underwriting discipline while continuing to offer first class products and service to our brokers and clients.”

To help meet this objective, LMI has already developed a network of regional offices in Bristol, Cheltenham, Birmingham and Manchester, as well as London.
