Assurant Solutions, a global provider of specialised insurance and insurance-related
products, has appointed Jeremy Andrews as Commercial Director with

to merge its business development and client relationship teams based
out of Slough with immediate effect. Commenting on this decision Drazen
Jaksic, Sales & Marketing Director, said: “Bringing the teams
together will not only maximise their knowledge and skills but it will
also enable us to build a closer working relationship between the teams
and better utilise the strengths of each individual to serve our clients
in these challenging times.”
To support Jeremy in his new position, Karen Wheeler will manage the client
relationship team in the UK and Sinéad Marconi will manage the
Irish team. Their role titles will change to Head of Client Development
to closer reflect the nature of their core focus.
