Berkeley Alexander strengthens BDM team with new recruitment
22 September 2014
22nd September 2014: General insurance provider, Berkeley Alexander, has recruited an additional business development team and Sales Manager in response to recent growth.
The provider has seen significant growth with sales via its distribution partners up by 66 per cent on the same period last year thanks to various award winning initiatives it has launched over the past 12 months. The new business development resource will offer additional support to its growing number of intermediary partners.
In addition the new team will offer a dedicated resource supporting small agents and IFAs.
Alan Collinson, Business Development Director at Berkeley Alexander commented: “We’re delighted by the growth we’ve achieved over the last year. We’ve invested significantly in our Home, Landlords, ASU/MMPI, and Commercial propositions in 2014, and have built some of the largest home insurance product panels available to advisers. This work has returned a dividend for us, and the new additional team of BDMs are testimony to that fact.
“However, we won’t be resting on our laurels. We’ll continue to improve and innovate, providing our intermediary partners with the very best service and support possible. This latest recruitment will significantly strengthen our team, and allow us to give even greater focus to those areas of the market where potential exists.”
In the past year, Berkeley Alexander has been awarded the SimplyBiz ‘GI Partner of the Year’ for the second year running, attracted new leading insurers to its panel including AXA and LV=, has launched a number of additional new products on its online ‘quote and buy’ system, and has built a new white-labelled GI portal with a major distribution partner. More developments are planned for the coming months, and further incremental growth is expected.
