Sterling Insurance has announced the new team that will run its Northern office in Manchester. The decision to open a branch in the North will enable staff to work more closely with existing brokers and follows the expansion of Sterling’s national sales team in 2011.
The Manchester office will be lead by Martin Kerrison who has a wealth of experience in sales, underwriting and management with leading insurers. Martin starts with Sterling on 15th February, and is committed to developing the Sterling ethos of listening and reacting to the needs of its brokers.
Martin will be supported by dedicated High Net Worth (HNW) senior underwriter Grant Chipman. Grant, who joins Sterling on 5th March, has worked in the HNW arena since his first role and despite adding other underwriting specialities, it remains his primary focus. James Leigh, Louise Welsh and Anita Fenna from the existing Sterling team will also be based in Manchester.
The office will be operational by the end of March 2012 and will ensure a strong local presence delivering excellent products, services and solutions for existing and new brokers in the North and North East.
