The UK regions team at Allianz Commercial has installed three members to higher posts.
Regional operations manager for the south Victoria Ashman (pictured above) will be in charge of a number of national broker relationships in her new role as strategic account manager. Ashman, who has been with Allianz for a decade, brings a strong distribution background to the position.
Meanwhile Jane Bond (pictured immediately above) and Jess Kingdon (pictured below) will be leading their respective teams of business developers. Bond has been promoted to Bristol and Cardiff distribution manager; Kingdon, for the Maidstone branch.
Previously a senior team leader for the Bristol and Cardiff development team, Bond has also been with the insurer for 10 years. As for Kingdon, the former senior business developer came onboard nearly seven years ago.
“Thanks to our in-house talent development, we’re able to fill these three key market-facing roles internally, which is great,” said distribution director Mike Thomas. “We’re very pleased and excited to bring Vic, Jane, and Jess to the forefront of our distribution operations.
“All three know the business inside-out and show solid customer and service ethos. They bring the best of Allianz to our broker partners, while also supporting and developing our talent. Over the next three years we have strong growth ambitions, and the appointments of Vic, Jane, and Jess give me confidence we will deliver better service to more brokers moving forward.”
