Jade Sugg
Nottingham-based insurance broker Russell Scanlan has welcomed Jade Sugg, a new Small to Medium-sized Enterprise (SME) Account Handler to its team following a period of investment in its SME capabilities. The appointment follows just six months after Russell Scanlan expanded its team to cope with rising SME demand.
Jade joins the firm, based at Wellington Circus in Nottingham City Centre, following more than 15 years in the industry working in private property insurance. Her experience in onboarding new business places her well for the role, where she can help strengthen the company’s new and existing relationships, while developing the expertise of the team.
On her appointment, Jade said: “Having built my career in private property, I wanted to try my hand at the commercial market – an area where Russell Scanlan is well-reputed. Furthermore, given that recent surveys are reporting an increase in the number of SMEs, all of which will some level of insurance cover, this seemed like the perfect area for me to grow my skillset.
“As an SME Account Handler, my role is to liaise with clients, strengthen partnerships and assist with claims and enquiries. I’m really looking forward to applying the knowledge I have garnered so far to strengthen the team and help drive new business.”
Sales & Marketing Director at Russell Scanlan, Mike Dickinson, comments on Jade’s appointment: “Jade has already proven to be an enthusiastic, driven team member with a lot of knowledge about the SME market.
“Her experience in establishing a good rapport with private clients will have a great impact on commercial accounts, setting us up well as we enter an exciting period of business growth. Furthermore, as a Nottingham heritage business supporting many local and regional clients, it’s wonderful to have another Nottingham-native (and keen paddle boarder!) with us. Welcome to Russell Scanlan, Jade!”
Russell Scanlan is Nottingham’s longest established insurance broker and is celebrating 142 years in operation. The firm has held chartered status by the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) for the sixth year in a row – one of only a handful of brokers in the East Midlands.
