Berkeley Alexander has appointed two recruits to its broker desk and commercial account handling teams.
Ellie Salmon joins the team as a commercial account handler.
She joins from Green Insurance and brings five years’ experience in delivering insurance and risk solutions, including D&O, motor, legal expenses, property and liability.
Oliver Platts joins Berkeley Alexander as a broker.
Platts joins from the recruitment industry where he was research consultant for William Alexander, specialising in recruiting for insurance.
Geoff Hall, chairman of Berkeley Alexander, said: “Attracting young talent into insurance careers has long been a challenge for the industry.
“We take a different approach here which continues to attract the best and brightest.
“Whilst we continue to recruit experienced staff from the insurance industry we also recognise and tap into a wider range of knowledge, skills, and expertise from outside the sector.
“Add this to our apprenticeship scheme and delivery of growth and learning opportunities, and we’re clearly taking a holistic approach to recruitment, helping shape rewarding careers in insurance and building the next generation of leaders.
“We warmly welcome Oliver and Ellie to the team and cannot wait to see them achieve their ambitions.”
