Direct Insurance appoints group marketing director
Direct Insurance Group, the international re/insurance group, has appointed Matt Field to its board as group sales & marketing director.
Field has been with Direct Insurance Group since 2016. In 2017 he was promoted to head of marketing & development. For four years he has been at the helm of the sales and business development teams as well as head of group marketing and UK sales.
Field comments: “I’m delighted and honoured to be appointed to the Board. Anyone who knows me also knows that Direct Insurance runs through my veins – like a stick of rock. I’ve been with the Group now for just five years, but in that short time I’ve been a part of their hugely exciting journey and can’t wait for the next chapter. Its infectious entrepreneurial spirit drives us all forward – you can’t help but be impressed by the people and the Group’s collective ambition.”
David Bearman, chief executive officer for Direct Insurance Group, said: “I’m delighted to welcome Matt to the Board. He’s a really nice guy. He’s talented, driven and committed to our vision. As a Group we’ve now surpassed the $500bn milestone so we’re well on our way. But for me this business is all about our culture and our people – seeing them grow. That’s why we’re wholly focussed on becoming the best global (re)insurance specialty wholesale business in the world; whilst that might mean we also become the biggest, the primary motivation is always to be the best.”
