General insurance provider, Source Insurance, has appointed Carl Oakes as its new director of sales.
Oakes (pictured), who joins from Arthur J Gallagher, has previously held a number of senior roles.
These include time spent at Legal & General, heading up the Halifax general insurance proposition, its broker business and latterly as head of new products.
Oakes said: “I’m really excited to be joining Source, having worked with them in my previous roles. The last few years have been challenging in many ways for brokers, but there are enormous opportunities for growth on the horizon.
“Source is well-positioned to help brokers take advantage of these opportunities with their reputation for excellent customer service, a client-centric proposition and in-house technological capabilities.”
Louise Watkins, Source’s operations director, added: “We’re excited to have someone of Carl’s caliber joining us and the experience he brings with him. As we continue to invest in our technology and services, Carl will play a vital role in communicating this to the market.”
