Ringwood-headquartered A-One Insurance Group (AOIG) has bolstered its team, snapping up two recruits from Higos Insurance Services and Alan & Thomas Insurance Group.
Joining the team at the head office are David Staddon (pictured, with AOIG group operations director Sarah Eades) and Nick Magee, who have been appointed as account handler and trainee account executive, respectively. Staddon brings 11 years of industry experience, while Magee most recently served as commercial insurance advisor for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
“I enjoy account handing and my role is to support the team while increasing my own knowledge of different insurance products,” noted former Higos executive Staddon. “I’m looking forward to meeting new people with all the associated opportunities.”
Outlining his vision, Magee said: “I shall be building a high level of knowledge which will allow me to assess complex risks with confidence, knowing that I am providing clients with the best advice. In time, I would like to manage my own client portfolio and set up a department which focuses on a niche product or area.”
Founded by managing director Ian Penfold in 1993, AOIG provides personal and commercial risk management from its UK regional offices and Hampshire headquarters.
“I am delighted to welcome David and Nick, they both bring extensive experience which is a great fit for all areas of our business, working with people seeking cover for everyday personal requirements, commercial risk management, or bespoke schemes,” commented director Ryan Jupp. “We pride ourselves on an efficient, customer-focused, jargon-free approach to work, which has led to strong partnerships with clients.”
