Momentum hires broking operations manager from Swinton

Broker network Momentum Broker Solutions has appointed John White as broking operations manager.

White joins from Swinton where he spent 15 years, both as a branch manager in Nottingham and Leicestershire, and latterly in senior operations roles. In his new role he will assume responsibility for resourcing, training and personal development of its 30-plus strong broking team.

Momentum managing director Howard Pepper commented: “I’m delighted to welcome John to the team. Providing a high-quality service is at the heart of Momentum and is a key element of our growth strategy. We are now at a stage where we need an experienced manager to ensure that we maintain focus on service as we continue to grow.”

Momentum has doubled in size over the past three years, placing in excess of £35m gross written premium in 2019. Momentum said its broker partners continue to enjoy high growth levels, achieving on average 18 percent growth compared to the industry average of 3 percent.

Howard Pepper added: “We are continuously investing in the right technology, processes and people so that our partners can focus on new business and client service. This helps them to achieve growth rates well above the industry average, and it is why Momentum is increasingly recognised as the natural home for the small independent broker – and a more attractive option than traditional direct authorisation. John’s appointment is an important next step in our continued future success.”
