Wirz, a Swiss national who has lived in the UK for 12 years, joins the business from Insure and Go where he has spent the last nine years in a range of management roles, most recently managing an outbound contact centre sales team of 40.
Wirz will manage relationships with network providers, clients, partners and intermediaries, and also manage a field-based sales team and office-based broker account executives.
Bruce Reid, commercial director of Select & Protect, said: “We’re committed to continuing to help our mortgage broker and independent financial adviser partners sell more general insurance and grow their business.
“Themba has a strong track record of managing teams in order to maximise sales opportunities and I am confident that our partners will experience real value with his addition to our team. I’m delighted to welcome him to the group.”
