Underwriting duo from NFU Mutual and Endsleigh join Horizon

Specialist underwriting agency Horizon has appointed Daniella Rosser and Peter Branch as underwriters, reporting to underwriting director  Wendy Travers.

Rosser joins Cheltenham-based Horizon from Endsleigh, where she held the role of niche commercial account executive. Before that she was a private clients account executive, advising high net worth customers on all aspects of their cover.

Branch previously worked as a private client manager for NFU Mutual, where he led the development of new business in Winchester for its recently launched high net worth product. Prior to that, he was a private client account manager at A-Plan.

According to the company, the new hires will support Horizon in meeting demand for its core mid net worth and high net worth products - Longitude and Latitude.

"I am delighted to welcome Daniella and Peter to Horizon," Travers said. "Their experience will be of significant benefit to Horizon as we continue to develop to support the needs of our broker partners as their preferred provider of specialist mid and high net worth insurance."
