Uinsure has appointed Phil Carr as intermediary director.

Carr joins Uinsure with more than 25 years of experience across insurance distribution, having held senior leadership roles across the industry and most recently at Allianz.

In his role, Carr will lead Uinsure’s intermediary business, with responsibility for intermediary engagement and the continued development of Uinsure’s insurance capability.

Alongside his appointment, Jemma Colley has been appointed national account manager.

Colley will focus on shaping how Uinsure supports networks and clubs, working alongside a team of senior key account managers who provide long-term, regional strategic partner support, and a newly established partner support team delivering onboarding, training, education and day-to-day guidance.

Uinsure chief distribution officer Lauren Bagley says: “I’m delighted to welcome Phil to Uinsure. His breadth of experience across insurance distribution strengthens our leadership team as we continue to help advisers engage customers with insurance more consistently and build longer-term relationships beyond the initial mortgage transaction.”

Carr adds: “The business is investing in both the technology and the support structures advisers need to confidently integrate insurance into the mortgage journey. My focus is on leading an intermediary business that helps advisers convert opportunities at the right moment and retain stronger, long-term relationships with their clients.”
