Specialist insurance broker Shepherd Compello has appointed Steve Hart as divisional director responsible for delegated authority business.
Hart takes up his new role immediately and will focus on high value homeowners, commercial property and commercial general liability.
“There are huge opportunities for continued growth in the business and I am looking forward to playing my part,” Hart said. “There are many firms who actively seek our niche, independent service, rather than simply accepting a one size fits all offering.”
