In his new role, Evola will be concentrating on leading the team to drive profitable growth and offer a valuable contribution as a member of the UK and Ireland management team. He will report to CEO Sarah Murrow and is based in the Canary Wharf London office.

Sarah Murrow, CEO at Allianz Trade UK and Ireland, said: “Peter's understanding of the market, the needs of our brokers and clients, our business and services and solutions we offer is invaluable and make him the perfect candidate for this role.”
