Groupama Insurances has created a dedicated new business underwriting team for London and the South, providing commercial brokers in the region with ease of access to expert underwriters for swift decisions on open market business. The team complements the London schemes team and Groupama’s schemes and open market business underwriting team in Manchester.
The new Southern Underwriting Team comprises three underwriters – Therese Crowhurst, Steve Scrimgeour and Darren Carter – reporting to Dawn Dillaway, Head of Commercial Underwriting.
Therese Crowhurst and Steve Scrimgeour will focus on non-motor SME commercial business. Therese has worked for Groupama for 3 years and brings valuable knowledge of schemes business. Steve has relocated from Groupama’s underwriting centre in Manchester and brings expert commercial SME underwriting experience. A highly skilled fleet underwriter, Darren Carter has joined Groupama Insurances from AIG.
Dawn Dillaway comments: “This team has been put in place to write new business with our existing broker partners in London and the South while developing new broker relationships, working with the Key Account Managers. Brokers in this region face particularly challenging market conditions and swift access to underwriting decisions is absolutely vital. Our team has the skills and authority to really help our supporting brokers take maximum advantage of the valuable new SME business opportunities that they produce.”
