Miller, the independent specialist (re)insurance broker, is pleased to announce the appointments of Amanda Armitage and Scott Gorman to support its growth in Professional & Financial Lines.
Amanda joins as Business Development Manager in Miller’s International Professions Team and Scott Gorman to lead the UK and International PI Wholesale team.
Amanda brings over 15 years’ experience in the insurance industry and now has a specialist focus on professional indemnity, having worked in both broking and relationship management roles.
She joins from PIB Insurance Brokers where she was a Development Director, working to identify new business opportunities across a range of sectors including renewables, healthcare, logistics, property and construction.
