TEn Insurance, the network for independent commercial brokers, today announces that it has been awarded Chartered Status by the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII).
John Rusby, Operations Director of TEn Insurance comments: “Gaining chartered status is further evidence that we operate to the highest standards of technical competency and ethical behaviour and that we are committed to providing the highest professional standards. Achieving Chartered Status helps us to nurture an environment of continuing professional development both for our members and our staff. It is important for our members and their clients to know that they have the support of a trusted professional organisation that has only the interests of them and their clients at heart.
“Although the award of Charted Status is purely for TEn and does not cascade automatically to any of our member brokers, we shall nevertheless be encouraging many who could already meet the criteria to embrace the concept and others to continue with their studies.”
In addition, TEn is delighted to announce the appointment of Neil Williams FCII to the role of non-executive director. Neil is a well known figure in the insurance industry with more than 30 years’ experience in both broking and underwriting. He has worked with firms including Royal Insurance and Lombard Insurance before taking on the role of Managing Director of broker Deacon (later part of Barbon Insurance Group and now part of Gallagher following the sale of Barbon this year) where he successfully turned the business around in his five year tenure. Building on his acute business and people strengths Neil has for the past seven years been coaching other insurance firms and individuals to achieve their goals.
Malcolm Lee, Managing Director of TEn adds: “I have personally known Neil for many years and I’m delighted to welcome him to the board as our new non-executive director. He has the highest integrity and a great reputation in the industry for helping to develop and advise businesses. His appointment will strengthen our corporate governance and his valued advice will help us to develop and grow the TEn insurance network in a way that remains true to our founding principles for the benefit of all our members.”
