New Account Handler Boosts Russell Scanlan Private Client Team

Nottingham based independent insurance broker, Russell Scanlan has appointed a new Account Handler to its exclusive Private Client team, as the 140-year-old business continues to manage increasing numbers of clients across its service delivery divisions.

Rob Newman joins the firm with over 40 years’ experience of the insurance industry, and with specialist knowledge of SMEs, which includes that of successful individuals and entrepreneurs – a perfect mix for moving on to a Private Client portfolio, that requires bespoke personal insurance support.

On applying for the role, Rob said: “I have known about Russell Scanlan for many years as it is such an established business within the insurance industry with an impressive reputation. Having known previous colleagues who have taken up a role there, I had already heard of what a great company it is to work for and the friendly atmosphere of the team prior to applying, so naturally I knew it would be the perfect fit for me.

“I’m excited to be taking on this new role in the Private Client team. This is a new challenge for me, I’m looking forward to progressing my knowledge in the high-net-worth field and strengthening the team with my extensive insurance experience.”

Sales and Marketing Director, Mike Dickinson adds: “We’re so pleased to be welcoming Rob to the team, we’re sure he will hit the ground running supporting our wide range of private clients, and the vast experience he has of the insurance industry will be invaluable to the business.

“2021 was an incredibly strange year for everyone, with remote working and the absence largely of being able to meet with clients, it has been a challenge. Nonetheless, I am incredibly proud of what the entire team has achieved and look forward to expanding both our team and client portfolio throughout the upcoming year.”

Russell Scanlan is Nottingham’s longest established independent insurance broker and a heritage brand for the city and the region – celebrating 140 years in operation this year. The firm has also been awarded chartered status by the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) - one of only a handful of brokers in the East Midlands.
