Bluefin boosts farm expertise with new hire

Bluefin has increased its regional farm insurance expertise with the appointment of Linda Davy as farming and agriculture account executive.

Davy joins Bluefin from Farmers & Mercantile, having previously worked at Willis, McLaren’s Loss Adjusters and Gale and Phillipson.

She will be based in Harrogate and will be reporting to branch director Richard Darbyshire.

With over three decades of experience in broking and claims, Davy will be responsible for helping Bluefin's clients with farm related insurance requirements.

The company recently hired farm insurance specialist Ed Davey in Lincoln. Bluefin Underwriting also appointed Sarah Robinson as agriculture trading and development manager in September 2016.

Darbyshire said: "We’re really pleased to welcome Linda whose wealth of experience and knowledge will be such a huge asset for us here in Harrogate and to the wider group.

"Farming insurance is an incredibly important sector to us and one we’re keen to keep developing and no doubt Linda will be instrumental in this."

Davy added: "I am excited to join Bluefin to support in their ambitious growth plans. Their existing strength and strong ambition in Farm insurance is incredibly appealing and energising and I’m looking forward to getting started."
