Lauren Bagley, chief distribution officer at Uinsure, said: “Intermediaries have an exceptional opportunity to deepen customer relationships at the mortgage moment, where intent and need for insurance is highest. That belief is driving significant investment in our technology proposition development and the people who are supporting intermediaries.
“I’m delighted to welcome Phil to Uinsure. His breadth of experience across insurance distribution strengthens our leadership team as we continue to help advisers engage customers with insurance more consistently and build longer-term relationships beyond the initial mortgage transaction.”
Carr added: “Uinsure has a clear ambition to help advisers strengthen client relationships through insurance, delivered in a way that reflects how advice is actually given.
“The business is investing in both the technology and the support structures advisers need to confidently integrate insurance into the mortgage journey. My focus is on leading an intermediary business that helps advisers convert opportunities at the right moment and retain stronger, long-term relationships with their clients.”
