LV= Broker bolsters strategic accounts team

LV= Broker, part of LV= General Insurance, has today announced a trio of appointments within the Strategic Accounts team. Victoria Price will join as Head of Strategic Accounts and look after a team of five account managers. Also joining the team this month as Strategic Account Managers are Ilona Cottrell and Darren Bringes.

Victoria, who joined earlier this month, reports to Michael Lawrence, Personal Lines Director at LV= Broker, and will be responsible for managing the strategic accounts, corporate partners and motor manufacturer insurance relationships, with the aim of developing and growing LV=’s presence in these markets. She joins the team from Verex Insurance Services, the broker group that delivers specialist insurance programmes to vehicle manufacturers, where she was Head of Insurer Development. Prior to Verex, Victoria worked at A-Plan and BGL Group. 

Ilona joins from Paymentshield, having spent the past 12 years at the firm – mainly in an account management role. Darren comes to LV= Broker following a 20 year stint at RSA and more recently a seven year account management role at Allianz.

Michael Lawrence, Personal Lines Director at LV=, said: “We’re very excited to be able to announce these appointments, which will make LV= Broker even easier to work with. With over 50 years of experience working for brokers and insurers between them, we’re confident that the team will bring a wealth of knowledge, experience and talent. Victoria, Ilona and Darren are welcome additions to our team and we look forward to working with them.” 

Victoria Price, Head of Strategic Accounts, added: “This is an exciting time to be joining LV= Broker. They’ve always had a strong brand and my experience from working with them in the past is that they have good products but also a great service. They’re clearly passionate about what they do and I’m looking forward to helping them develop and grow their strategic accounts, corporate partners and motor manufacturer relationships.”
