Alastair Sambrook appointed to key Broker Business Management role

Leading legal expenses and assistance provider ARAG has appointed Alastair Sambrook to the critical role of Broker Business Manager.

Reporting to ARAG’s UK Sales Manager for before-the-event business, Matt Warren, Alastair will be responsible for leading the broker account team and for developing relationships with brokers, predominantly in the South East of England.

In an insurance career already spanning more than 30 years, Alastair has held a number of broker management, business development and leadership roles for several major insurance brands, including XL Catlin, Markel and Allianz.

Commenting on the appointment, Matt Warren said:

Alastair obviously brings with him a huge amount of experience, not just of the insurance industry, but specifically in managing relationships with brokers.”

“ARAG’s commitments to delivering the best service to our broker partners and ensuring that we continue to develop market-leading products that work for them and for their clients, make this a pivotal role for us that demanded a candidate of Alastair’s calibre.

Responding to Matt’s comments, Alastair added:

ARAG has such a great reputation in a sector that is becoming increasingly important to brokers. I am very much looking forward to getting to know our existing business partners and helping to develop those relationships and build some new ones.

Alastair is taking up his new role just in time to represent ARAG and start meeting brokers at this year’s Broker Expo, being held in Coventry this week.
