"Bringing in the right people at the right time has been central to how we've scaled."
- Martin Schultheiss - Uinsure
Uinsure has announced the appointment of Tom Doyle as chief trading officer to lead its insurer partnerships and trading strategy.
Tom has over 28 years’ experience in general insurance and joins Uinsure from Markerstudy Retail, where he was responsible for insurer capacity management. His previous roles include at AXA Commercial and Ageas Retail.
In his new role, Tom will lead Uinsure's trading strategy, overseeing insurer and capacity relationships, product development and portfolio performance. He will work closely with Uinsure's pricing, data and distribution teams.
This comes after Uinsure announced its partnership with NatWest in July of this year to launch a new home insurance proposition. In the same month, Uinsure added Lloyds Bank General Insurance to its multi-insurer panel.
"Insurer partnerships are one of the three pillars our business is built on, alongside our technology and our distribution," Martin Schultheiss, group managing director at Uinsure, said.
"Our distribution has driven much of our growth, with major banks, building societies and all major mortgage networks using our technology, which continues to evolve.

"Developments like our new insurance monitoring technology give our insurers more opportunities to compete for customers, so as our technology and distribution grow, our insurer partnerships need to grow with them.
"Bringing in the right people at the right time has been central to how we've scaled, and Tom has spent his career managing insurer relationships at an impressive scale. I'm delighted to welcome him to the business as we enter our next phase of growth."
Tom Doyle added: "Uinsure has scaled significantly over the last few years, and the opportunity for our insurer partners has naturally grown with it.
"It's an exciting time to be joining the business, with real scope to deepen our insurer partnerships, using our insight and data assets to create additional value, expand our competitive footprint with more confidence and grow our product suite to serve the evolving needs of our partners and their customers."
