Neil Findley, Liberty Mutual Insurance’s (LMI) Business Development Manager - North, has been promoted to the newly-created role of General Manager – Regions. Mr. Findley’s promotion comes as LMI, the commercial lines division of Liberty Mutual Insurance Europe Limited (LMIE), and part of the Global Specialty unit of Liberty Mutual Insurance Group, approaches its second anniversary this March.
In his new role, Mr. Findley will be responsible for the management and development of LMI’s UK regional branch network. He will continue to take personal charge of the insurer’s Birmingham branch with regional branch managers in Bristol, Cheltenham, Glasgow, Leeds and Manchester now reporting to him.
Mark Stephenson, LMI’s Head of Business Development and Market Relationships, said: “Over the past 12 months, our commercial business has grown considerably and we have added new products, expanded distribution and hired additional resources, hence the new role of General Manager – Regions. Our Leeds office has quickly established itself while, at the same time, premium volume across all commercial lines has grown significantly. In addition we have bolstered our regional claims team with several senior appointments and the business now has a very strong network in place and is set for further growth this year. With LMI moving into its third full year, and its firm establishment in the UK commercial insurance market, this is the perfect time to promote Neil into this new role.”
Neil Findley joined Liberty in 2011 at LMI’s launch. He has 25 years of experience in the UK regional insurance market and has also worked closely with the London market for the last 15 years.
LMI was launched in 2011 to target the UK mid-market commercial sector. The division offers a wide range of products including property, casualty and financial lines backed up with risk management and risk engineering services.
