360 Underwriting Solutions has appointed Lori Messori as National Underwriting Development Manager and named executives for WA and SA as it expands its regional and rural business.

Mr Messori has 35 years’ experience across major insurers and international brokers in Australia, including Zurich, QBE and Willis Towers Watson, and has held key roles with Elders and Landline Underwriting Agency.

He will be responsible for 360’s underwriting function and the development of its farm and regional business.

The underwriting agency has also named Clare Smith as WA Regional Manager and Heidi Glaser as SA Regional Manager.

360 Underwriting last year acquired the Insure That business to gain a footprint in the farm market and is pursuing further growth in the sector.

“We are delighted with the progress we have made under the leadership of our Executive Director Matt Devine over the past 12 months,” 360 co-founder and Director Denis Morrissey said. “I have no doubt that these three key appointments will dramatically enhance our capability and service offering in the farm and regional segment.”
