ROCK Insurance Group has appointed Phil Carr in the newly-created role of director of sales.
Carr joins with more than 17 years of experience within the insurance industry, at least 10 of those spent in senior positions at companies such as Sterling Insurance Group and most recently at Allianz Insurance UK and Allianz Global Assistance.
In his new role, his short term objective will be to identify partnership opportunities and promote the ROCK brand in the travel insurance market.
In the long term, the group said Carr has been tasked with making Rock Insurance the ‘number one travel insurance business in the UK and a significant competitor in other parts of the world’.
Antony Martin, managing director of Rock Insurance Group, said: "We are very excited that Phil is joining ROCK. The combination of his broad sector experience and profile in the corporate insurance market puts ROCK in a very strong position to grow further.
"ROCK already works with a growing number of affinity partners including Jet2, Mid Counties Coop, Debenhams and Admiral and we are confident that Phil will help ROCK to build on this success."
