ACE appoints business development manager

Insurer ACE has appointed a business development manager for Birmingham and the East Midlands, as it continues to expand its servicing capabilities throughout the UK.

Matt Westwood joins from Ecclesiastical where he was business development manager in Birmingham for five years. Prior to that, Westwood had over 10 years’ broking experience with Marsh and JLT, managing clients in a variety of sectors including retail, manufacturing, schemes and affinities.

In this newly-created role, Westwood will be responsible for the development of new and existing business in Birmingham and across the East Midlands region, as well as the management of broker relationships locally.

Reporting to David Rose, business development manager, Midlands, Matt will work closely with the regional team of underwriters based in Birmingham and his appointment takes place with immediate effect.

Paul Jennings, regional manager, Midlands and South West at ACE said: “Matt’s appointment further demonstrates ACE’s commitment to continue to expand its regional presence. While the Birmingham branch has been operating for a number of years, Matt’s appointment will give us the opportunity to better service our network of brokers and clients based in the insurance heartland of Birmingham and the East Midlands.”
