by Paul on 18/01/2012 in Press Room

Jeremy Edwards has been appointed to the new position of Head of Private Clients at Macbeth Chartered Insurance Brokers in Reading and takes responsibility for the firm’s specialist division looking after the insurance needs of high net worth individuals.

A key aspect of the role will be to develop Macbeth’s offer in this niche market and strengthen the firm’s position as a leading broker of private client business, both in the high value homes and motor insurance sector as well as in fine art and antiques, jewellery and watches.

“Jeremy brings over 20 years’ private client management experience, all of it at senior management level,” said Managing Director Paul Macbeth. “We’ve specialised in this area for a number of years and with Jeremy leading the team I’m confident we can become the largest private client broker in the Thames Valley.

“His appointment reflects our ambitions in this market in readiness for our pending office move to new, bigger premises in Theale.”

Jeremy joins Macbeth from Bluefin where he was Head of VIP Client Services for the Private Clients Division. His responsibilities included the development of new business, supplier relationships, branded products and staff development. Jeremy also recently attained an accreditation to be a member of the Institute of Leadership and Management.

His insurance career began in 1980 at Guardian Royal Exchange and also includes senior management roles with Worrell Fry & Co, Stackhouse Poland and Stuart Alexander Ltd.
