Bridge Expands Real Estate Team

Bridge Insurance Brokers Ltd has expanded its Real Estate team with five new appointments and an internal promotion.

Bringing a combined expertise of 90 years are the new faces: Mark Ruding joins as a Claims Executive while Hayley Smith joins as a Trainee Client Service Executive. Rob Naylor has been appointed as an Account Executive to offer his expertise in the busy OCIP division. Natalie Riley joins as a senior Client Service Executive and Max Whitter has been appointed as a Client Service Executive. All five will be based in the Manchester headquarters but operate all over the UK, liaising closely with the company’s London office. Heading up the newly expanded team is Carrie Arnold, who has been promoted from Account Executive to Head of Real Estate and will report to Director Mike Regan.

The Bridge Insurance and Construction team provides the highest quality advice to some of the largest property owners in the UK and Europe. Carrie comments: “We have a mix of exceptionally talented and experienced staff members combined with new fresh talent, who will benefit from the exceptional training here at Bridge. It’s an exciting time for Real Estate throughout the UK, particularly here in Manchester, where we support a number of high-profile clients in their projects.”

Mike adds: “This newly expanded team can offer our clients the specialist advice and care needed to insure their properties and projects comprehensively – and to assist them in the promotion of positive risk management strategies. We’re delighted to welcome everybody to the business.”

Bridge Insurance Brokers was set up in Manchester over 50 years ago and operates out of its Head office on Charlotte Street, with a second office in the City of London. The company now employs over 120 people and has recently started welcoming them back to the office post-COVID.
