Transport and logistics insurer NTI has announced the appointment of former Suncorp leader Jason Chappell as state manager for Victoria/Tasmania.

In this role, Chappell will lead NTI’s commercial teams across Victoria and Tasmania, and develop the company’s broker, association, and industry partnerships.

Chappell brings to NTI more 17 years of sales and distribution experience across insurance and banking, most recently as regional manager for southern states (VIC/TAS/SA/WA/ACT) at Suncorp stores and specialty bank. His experience at Suncorp also includes looking after motor vehicle claims and repair panel management in South Australia.

“We look forward to Jason working with our exceptional team in VIC/TAS and taking this region into its next journey,” said Mike Edmonds, NTI’s general manager commercial. “I would also like to thank the leadership team in VIC/TAS for guiding the business during the last year as well as the team as a whole who have been nothing short of outstanding. We’re excited for a prosperous 2020.”
