IAG’s AR networks build new team

IAG has announced a number of appointments following last year’s acquisition of authorised representative group Westcourt General Insurance Brokers.

Westcourt will be integrated with the insurer’s established authorised representative network National Adviser Services (NAS), but they are currently trading as separate entities, albeit from the same office.

Paul Ayton was appointed MD of the groups last year, and a series of further appointments have been unveiled this week.

Richard Crawford becomes GM Distribution and Operations at Westcourt General & NAS Insurance Brokers. He was previously senior manager, culture and leadership at IAG.

Jeremy Boyle, previously GM at PMA Insurance Services, takes the role of Network Development Manager, while Maryanne Scholz has been appointed Human Resources Manager. She was previously a human resources specialist at Slater & Gordon Lawyers.

Kathryn Considine, formerly a delivery specialist in the national partnerships team at CGU, has been appointed Regional Manager Victoria/Tasmania.

Westcourt founder and former director Jeff Hollands, who negotiated the sale of the Perth-based network to IAG, continues as National Manager Network Relationships.
