Called Markerstudy Business, the division will bring a focused service to business customers, with it bringing Markerstudy’s commercial brands into one simplified structure. Barrington, who previously served as managing director at Markestudy Broking, said the commercial arm is now fully “open for business” after signing off on a strategy to grow the business to £200m gross written premium (GWP) during the next phase. Barrington said: “All our commercial insurance brands, including Clegg Gifford, are now organised into one simplified structure and we have a clear mandate for profitable growth. “Led by our hugely experienced team, we are creating a centre of excellence with the purpose of meeting the demands of our customers, sourcing great products, with simple routes to market and delivering good customer outcomes.” Group chief executive Kevin Spencer added: “The primary focus of creating a separate business division with a dedicated executive team and board is to bring a focused service to our business customers, delivering the best possible outcomes for them.” Organic growth Organic growth is set to come through key brands such as Swinton Business, Hughes, CVD, One Insurance Solution and London market broker Clegg Gifford.
