SIP Medical Family Office has appointed Tammy Sykes as account manager and Diana Chernetska as client advisor.
But the Swiss-owned international health insurance intermediary and medical concierge company which established their UK entity and was directly authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority last year told Health & Protection it expects to increase headcount further in the UK in 2024.
Sykes (pictured left) who previously worked for Now Health International, will lead account management of existing clients while Chernestka’s (pictured right) key focus is to develop UK network and private clients in London.
Kieran Brown, general manager UK at SIP Medical Family Office, said: “I am very proud to have Tammy and Diana with us.
“They both have wonderful experience and are very well respected in our industry.
“We have developed a have a wonderful team and platform to support our partners who need help with international medical and insurance solutions.
“This is an exciting time in our history for SIP and as we continue to invest in the UK.”
Touching on the business case for the firm’s expansion, Brown added: “For over 25 years SIP have been advising its clients and helping them to find the best international health insurance solutions.
“Launching in the UK in 2023 SIP realised the opportunity to offer a quite unique solution to overcome the challenges of Brexit, not only for our clients but also for our intermediary and providers partners who were affected by the regulation.
“Our investment in the UK alongside our strategic focus to provide the highest standards of international health insurance for our clients has proven successful and we will continue to grow our team in the UK in 2024.”
