The Directors of 360 Underwriting Solutions would like to congratulate Andrew Borden on his appointment as General Manager, Southern Region with Insurance Advisernet.
Andrew joined 360 Underwriting Solutions in July last year with the specific brief to grow our mid-market capability.
Whilst Andrew’s time with 360 was relatively brief, it was spectacularly successful. On his watch, he successfully delivered our Commercial Motor and Cyber Solution and has completed the delivery of a third product which will be released in the coming weeks.
Director Denis Morrissey commented, “Not only has Andrew made a significant contribution to the suite of products we can now offer our broker partners, he has also made a telling contribution to the cultural climate within our business.”
His appointment was also praised by fellow Director Chris Lynch, “We are delighted to see Andrew appointed to this prestigious position within Insurance Advisernet and we look forward to working with Andrew and the IA team to further enhance the partnership that we already enjoy.”
Andrew’s final day with 360 will be Friday 1 March.
In response to Andrew’s departure, Paul Jeffries has already been appointed to lead the Commercial Motor business while Paul McKeough will be responsible for Cyber.
