General insurance provider Berkeley Alexander has announced the appointment of two new business development managers (BDMs).

Dan Sharp joins from Towergate where he was responsible for client services, dealing mainly with household, high net worth, property owners and commercial insurance lines. Prior to this he worked with Swinton Insurance as a sales executive.

Scott Clarke is returning to Berkeley Alexander, after a three year sabbatical to earn a degree from the Academy Of Contemporary Music. Previously, he spent four years with Berkeley Alexander as a Client Services Adviser.

Geoff Hall, managing director of Berkeley Alexander, said: “Sales via our distribution partners are up 66% on last year and we have plans for further incremental growth. Scott and Dan will offer additional resource to our BDM team, to support this current and future growth and help to ensure that we continue to provide our intermediary partners with the very best service and support possible. They will also provide an important dedicated resource for our small agents and IFAs.

“Both BDMs will bring valuable client services experience to the team. Scott in particular will be remembered by many of our broker agents and staff during his four years with us, and we’re delighted to welcome him back to the fold.”
