Atec Group, the parent company of Ceta Insurance and MGA Arkel, has appointed Matthew Birney as Group Pricing Director.
Brendan Devine, Atec Group CEO, said:
“Matthew has a very strong background in pricing in non-standard home in particular, having being Head of Pricing for Prestige and more recently Geo(Ardonagh). His initial focus will be on pricing in Arkel, Atec’s MGA, then working with the wider group on pricing strategy. Matthew comes highly recommended and is an exciting addition to the management team here at Atec.”
The role of Group Pricing Director is a new position and follows a record year in 2021 for Ceta Insurance. During 2021, Ceta’s expert team took 64% more calls in 2021 than the previous year and saw a 7% rise in conversations with brokers, resulting in a 40% rise in the number of quotes and a huge 88% lift in sales. This is thanks in part to a 52% increase in the number of active advisers, who use the Infinity platform to access Ceta’s broad panel of providers.
Matthew Birney said:
“Atec has been turbo-charged over the past several months with new products, innovations and third-party deals that has seen it grow business in many parts of the Group. I look forward to helping them continue to expand and improve the market for customers.”
