Chubb has confirmed the appointment of Christine Bell as NSW State Manager, following her departure from QBE last month.

Ms Bell held the position of regional manager for NSW and ACT at QBE for almost six years, and spent almost 11 years with the insurer. Before that she was head of broker relationship management at Vero.

She left QBE following a restructure that resulted in the departure of about 50 managers.

Ms Bell will start with Chubb on February 25, replacing Jon Longmore, who has been promoted to Head of Digital Asia-Pacific.
