Growth generates front of house appointment

One of Wales’ largest independent insurance brokers, Prescott Jones, has strengthened its team with the appointment of a new front-of-house manager.

Charlotte Reynolds, 24, from Sketty, will be based in the company’s Swansea headquarters and will manage front of house duties, including running the switchboard and dealing with personal insurance enquiries.

Mrs Reynolds began her career in the insurance industry aged 17. After spending five years at Swansea-based broker Thomas and Byrne, she moved to Enterprise Insurance before undertaking a role at Prescott Jones at the beginning of this year.

As part of her new position, she will also be working closely with Sales and Marketing Director, Paul Gardner, to implement marketing campaigns across the company’s three offices in Swansea, Cardiff and Bristol.

Paul Gardner said: “We are thrilled to welcome Charlotte into the team at Prescott Jones. Having worked in the insurance industry for eight years, she has an excellent grounding in both commercial and personal insurance. I am confident she will thrive in this new role and I’m looking forward to working with her on the marketing and sales strategy.

“Charlotte has joined at an exciting time for the company. We grew by 15% in 2013, which is a tribute to our dedicated team who have built long-term relationships with our customers. We envisage growth to exceed that level still further in 2014 and to recruit additional talented individuals.

Charlotte Reynolds said: “Prescott Jones has an excellent reputation and I am delighted to be able to build on my existing skill-set and experience in a dynamic environment.

“I really enjoy front-of-house management, but assisting Paul to develop marketing and sales campaigns across three offices is a really exciting prospect for me.”
