Partnerships & propositions director Jay Prosser commented on the roster addition, stating: “Alan has a fantastic record of developing new business for some of the biggest brands in insurance. We’ve worked together before, at DAS UK and BGL Group, and I’m delighted to welcome him back to join the ARAG team.
“He brings both sector-specific knowledge and broader market experience to the role, and I know he’ll be a great asset to ARAG.”
In his new role, Jappy will focus on expanding ARAG UK’s business by forging and strengthening partnerships with key corporate clients.
In the 2023 financial year, ARAG UK posted its 14th straight year in the black, with the firm’s profit amounting to £0.8 million.
Managing director Tony Buss previously declared: “I’m very pleased that we delivered another great result and successfully maintained our ‘business as usual’ while completing the pre-acquisition integration of DAS UK.
“Our core, BTE (before-the-event) legal expenses and assistance business grew very strongly, particularly for commercial customers, and our ATE (after-the-event) book is also performing well.
“ARAG’s overarching commitment to extending access to justice is underscored by the tens of thousands of people we have helped to rebuild their lives, who might otherwise have been left without recourse.”
