Major insurer Allianz has appointed a new head of property claims.
The company said in an announcement that Nick Lock will head the division following the retirement of David Watkins who previously held the post.
Lock’s responsibilities will cover strategy, technical excellence and customer propositions for the firm’s commercial and household property claims portfolio, as well as oversight of high value losses.
He has been with the company for more than 30 years and has performed various claims management roles. His most recent appointment was as major loss team manager for motor and casualty losses.
“I am delighted we have been able to fill such a pivotal role internally, it is a testament to the strength of our talented claims team. I have no doubt that Nick’s level of expertise and experience will benefit Allianz’s claims operation and its customers,” Allianz director of claims Graham Gibson said in a statement.
