Picking up the role of group regulations and compliance director is Carl Ashton, who currently serves as compliance manager.
 
Coversure said the restructured leadership will strengthen the group’s strategic direction and help facilitate ambitious growth plans.
 
“These are important changes for the Group and recognise the achievements of a leadership team that has been driving long-term sustainable growth in our business for the last two years,” said Mark Coverdale, chairman of the holding company.
