It names new head of marketing, and underwriting and claims manager
Support services provider MorganAsh has bolstered its team with two senior appointments – a move aimed at reinforcing its growth in the customer vulnerability and Consumer Duty markets.
MorganAsh has appointed Peter Labrow as head of marketing and Tracey Johnson as underwriting and claims manager.
Labrow brings with him around 40 years of experience, including as a journalist for Haymarket Group, as marketing manager for a global systems integration company, and as marketing director for a training company.
He was also the co-founder of newswire Learning News and founder of his own marketing agency. He has worked with MorganAsh as a marketing consultant for more than a decade.
“There’s always been a side of me which is drawn to work with socially responsible organisations,” Labrow said. “I’ve worked for several charities, including three hospices and a couple of social enterprises.
“The concept of helping organisations get to grips with consumer vulnerability in a best-practice way and enabling them to deliver more consistent outcomes is one that particularly excites me.”
Johnson, meanwhile, is a highly experienced medical underwriter and claims manager, who has worked in the UK and Irish protection market with many of the UK’s life insurers. She has additional experience in training and development, as well as in underwriting systems and rules development.
She was an integral part of launching Bright Grey – which is now part of Royal London Retail – and has worked with Acorn, Allianz, AXA, Prudential, Standard Life, and Utmost, among others.
“I’ve always liked MorganAsh’s approach,” Johnson remarked. “They were one of the pioneers of medical underwriting, gathering, and using data in a far more intelligent way – with better results all round. This is a great team to be part of.”
Commenting on the appointments, Andrew Gething (pictured), managing director of MorganAsh, said the new hires add some solid, senior experience to MorganAsh.
“I’ve known and worked with Peter for around 20 years – and in the last few years, he’s steadily built up his expertise in customer vulnerability,” Gething explained.
“Tracey is a terrific addition to the team. Her reputation quite rightly proceeds her, and she brings with her bags of experience, knowledge, and energy.”
