ZURICH Insurance's commercial division has established a national team of account executives dedicated to providing specialist insurance cover and advice to fleet operators. The move reflects Zurich's growing presence in the fleet market and will be followed up by further fleet targeted initiatives later this year.

The team of account executives will be supported by two customer service teams, including claims specialists, at the company's two service centres in Portsmouth and Leeds. Located to cover the whole country, all the newly appointed account executives are experienced underwriters with fleet expertise. These skills will be enhanced by a continual development programme with regular workshops and their own internal newsletter providing regular updates on current issues affecting fleet managers.
