Insurance brokerage JM Glendinning has a new client director for its head office.
Triathlete Dan Binks (pictured), who was regional sales director at Arthur J.
Gallagher, has been appointed as client director for JM Glendinning’s Guiseley base. Focused on client engagement, he will be in charge of leading, protecting, and developing client relationships.
Prior to joining Arthur J. Gallagher in 2012, Binks was founding director of
Henderson Corporate. Having been in the industry for nearly three decades, he has significant experience in retail, logistics, food and beverage, automotive, and manufacturing insurances.
“I’ve known Paul Glendinning for many years and the role at JM Glendinning really appealed to me,” explained Binks. “It’s a nimble, dynamic, family business and its structure enables a more client-focused approach.”
He continued: “By building key relationships with insurance companies, offering a personal service to clients, and having a team of highly skilled negotiators, I am already seeing that the business is able to outperform the market on cost while delivering exceptional client service.”
JM Glendinning has insurance broking offices in West Yorkshire, North Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, and the North East.
“Our business is about people dealing with people, so handpicking the right recruits is critical,” commented JM Glendinning group managing director Nick Houghton. “We look for classically trained people that are disenfranchised where they are. Dan is well known to the business and his expertise and connectivity, backed by our proposition, will bring success and a great career with us.”
Outside the industry, the Leeds native is currently training for his first Half Ironman event next year. Binks recently took part in the Buttermere Triathlon in Cumbria.
