New intermediary director for Legal and General

Mark co-founded Coverwise Ltd, an international online general insurance intermediary and has previously held senior sales roles at Aviva, Axa and RSA, spanning over 20 years.

Currently, around 80% of Legal & General’s general insurance new business is through broker and intermediary partners, which is supported by a regional sales and marketing team of 33, which Mark will now head.

Duncan Finch, managing director for Legal & General’s general insurance business, said: “Mark’s strong business expertise and exceptional understanding of what is an extremely important business distribution channel for us will be a huge benefit. Working together closely with our business partners will ensure we continue to offer a business proposition that supports them and provides the opportunity for continuing long term profitability for all.

“We have some extremely strong broker and intermediary relationships that have been developed over time and it is core to our business development strategy that we continue to provide them and new partners with the professional service they’ve come to expect from us. Mark’s recruitment to head the existing high quality sales and marketing team, demonstrates our continued commitment to the broker and intermediary market.”
