ARAG eyes further expansion with six new recruits

ARAG has announced the arrival of six new recruits at its Bristol head office.

The company's ATE Claims Management Unit has welcomed two new faces in assistants Stephanie Paul and Freddie Pickles, while Judith Harper has brought 30 years' insurance industry experience to ARAG after joining as a compliance advisor.

Also coming on board are Michelle Camfield, who becomes a HR, facilities and project assistant, and Corrie Gilbert, who becomes part of ARAG's BTE underwriting team. The sixth new recruit is

Rachael Wornes, who has 16 years' worth of legal expenses insurance experience. She will lead the group's marketing activity.

“This is all about forward planning,” said ARAG managing director Tony Buss.

“Our continuing success in attracting demanding clients with our tailor-made policy offerings means we have a continuing need to anticipate demand levels. This way we ensure we maintain our award winning service levels across all areas of our legal services and insurance businesses. We are therefore opening up new roles across the company”.

Earlier this year the company acquired a further 60% surface area within the Georgian-fronted office complex, then renovated and upgraded the entire space.

“This is all about forward planning” commented ARAG managing director Tony Buss. “Our continuing success in attracting demanding clients with our tailor-made policy offerings means we have a continuing need to anticipate demand levels. This way we ensure we maintain our award winning service levels across all areas of our legal services and insurance businesses. We are therefore opening up new roles across the company”.

"We are now in our eighth full trading year and looking ahead a similar length of time” he added.

“It's good to know that more high-calibre recruits are joining the team at this crucial point in ARAG's development”.
