Partners& has created three new senior leadership roles as it gears up for the next stage of its growth plan.
The internal promotions see Ewan MacDonald appointed CEO – North to lead the insurance broking business and wider trading teams in the North of England and Scotland region, and Lee Davey appointed CEO – South to lead the insurance broking business and wider trading teams in the South and Midland.
Davey will incorporate existing regional businesses in the South-East, South-West, and Midlands.
Finally, Ramzan Ghafoor has been appointed COO for client service and will be responsible for codifying what it means to receive excellent client service and successfully implementing this proposition across the business.
The trio will report to group CEO, Phil Barton.
MacDonald, previously managing partner for the North and Scotland regions, and Davey, previously managing partner for the South-West region will be jointly responsible for driving growth, building collaboration, and enabling seamless advice across the business.
MacDonald (pictured left) said: “I’m thrilled to be working alongside Lee and leading our teams to outstanding success.
“I’m a firm believer in the adage that when you surround yourself with great people, great things happen.
“We’re fortunate to have a fantastic, combined leadership team who are set to take our business forward.”
Davey (pictured right) said: “People are at the core of what we do at Partners&.
“Working with Ewan, we’re going to remain laser focused on ensuring we create the right environment for our people to deliver first class personal service and advice for our clients – first time and every time.
“That is what will propel us to achieve our goal of being the best insurance and risk advisory business in the UK.”
Ghafoor (pictured centre) said: “Creating this role puts client service at the heart of our operation, which many businesses fail to do.
“As a challenger brand, client service remains core to our purpose.
“We aim to create a unique client experience – from the first day we engage with clients through to the ultimate test of our value – the claims experience. I’m thrilled to be spearheading this critical aspect of our business.”
Barton added: “I’m delighted with these appointments, all of which reflect the fantastic talent we have attracted and developed in our business.
“Lee, Ewan and Ramzan have the skills, drive, and vision to deliver our ambitious plan and turbo charge the next stage of Partners&’s development.
“It’s an exciting time for Partners& as we continue to challenge what it means to be a leading insurance advisory business in our world today.”
