JM Glendinning boosts Community Risk team

Anthony Mann has been appointed as client director at JM Glendinning Community Risk Solutions, which helps manage the risk and insurance requirements of organisations delivering critical services to our communities.

Anthony will provide insurance broker services in the North East, enabling the Portsmouth-based business to support organisations and serve clients nationally. With over nine years’ experience gained working in the insurance industry, focussing on public sector businesses, Anthony joins the Community Risk business – part of the JMG Group – to support its work with clients, which include registered providers of social housing, care providers and charities.

Anthony had previously worked alongside Community Risk Solutions’ MD, Gary Newlyn, at Zurich Municipal, Zurich’s public sector business. He began his career in retail, primarily dealing with customers in high end sales. He says that this experience gave him invaluable interpersonal and relationship-building skills that he will rely on in his new role at JM Glendinning.

Gary Newlyn says, “I’m thrilled to welcome Anthony to the business. His experience, values and his client-centric approach align perfectly with JM Glendinning’s. Anthony brings further expertise to the business at a time when organisations are under increasing pressure to find suitable insurance solutions with competitive premiums. He’s a real asset to the Community Risk Solutions business and to the wider JMG Group.”

Anthony says: “This is an exciting challenge and I’m looking forward to working closely with Gary and other JMG Group businesses, to drive growth and to offer outstanding service to customers. I had been approached by several large corporate brokers but, besides knowing Gary and respecting his professionalism, I was drawn to the people-first approach of JM Glendinning, so jumped at the chance to become part of the team.”
