Verisk targets growth in UK insurance market with double swoop

Global insurance data analytics and technology company  Verisk has unveiled two new hires, including a former director at Miller, to spearhead growth in the UK insurance market.

Robert Stewart joins as director of business development at Verisk Underwriting Solutions, and Neil Garrett as sales director. The hires are a part of the company’s international insurance market growth strategy.

Stewart's primary focus will be to cultivate relationships with existing clients/prospects and explore new opportunities and outreach in a competitive market.

Prior to joining Verisk, Stewart spent over 37 years of his career dedicated to the insurance market, most significantly as a senior partner and director at Miller Insurance Services. Most recently, he served as a development executive at VesselsValue.

Stewart said: “I am excited to be joining Verisk, having moved from a career in broking to the world of risk assessment using data and the many innovative tools that are now at the industry’s disposal. Verisk is the Gold Standard of the analytics market, so I feel privileged to be joining the team at such an important time.”

Garrett joins Verisk after a career with Solera | Audatex and Enterprise Rent-A-Car. He said: “My role at Verisk is to ensure we operate with the client at the heart of what we do. This means understanding the values and mission of our clients and providing solutions from across the Verisk insurance ecosystem that add value and align to their mission. It’s a pleasure to join the Verisk team to optimise the client experience.”
