Uinsure has announced the appointment of James Pilkington as head of lettings and Jamie Thompson as chief pricing officer.
This move follows the company’s recent capital investment from Lloyds Development Capital (LDC).
Pilkington will spearhead the launch of Uinsure’s tenants’ insurance, in addition to expanding the landlord insurance offerings, utilising the firm’s innovative technology. “Tenants insurance is a natural extension to Uinsure’s existing portfolio,” said Pilkington.
Thompson joins the team to enhance Uinsure’s pricing strategies, bringing his extensive experience from previous analytical roles at HBOS, Lloyds, and Barclays.
He expressed enthusiasm for his new role: “It’s an extremely exciting time to be joining Uinsure…I’ll be leading on our pricing strategy to make sure it’s as competitive as possible as we diversify into new markets.”
Their appointments come on the heels of Peter Thompson joining Uinsure as a non-executive director. Group managing director Martin Schultheiss had this to say: “We’ve built technology that brings the concept of embedded insurance to life and our strategy is focused on how our increasing number of partners can access this technology and a panel of leading insurers to simplify how they offer cover.
“Our distribution network has grown significantly because of the technology we’ve delivered to the market and we’re lucky to have a very innovative team who always want to push further.
“The arrivals of James and Jamie, alongside Peter, demonstrate how committed we are to improving insurance experiences for our partners customers.”
