DAS UK, the Bristol-headquartered legal expenses insurer, has made two senior appointments to its market-leading corporate team. 
Anne Wienand becomes strategic account manager while Alan Jappy takes up the position of corporate business development manager.
Anne, pictured, will oversee relationships with the company’s existing corporate partners. With 20 years’ experience in financial services, she joins DAS from Junction, part of the BGL Group, where she held the role of group senior partnerships manager.
Alan, pictured, is a specialist in developing new large affinity partnerships. He brings 10 years’ experience in building corporate business relationships. Alan also joins from BGL Group, where he was involved in deals with Sunlife and Virgin, having previously worked for Allianz Insurance. 
They will operate from DAS UK’s Bristol head office and its London base – but will also have a UK-wide mandate.
Both will report to head of corporate David Swigciski, who said: “I am really pleased to welcome these exciting hires to the team. Their strong backgrounds and experience will be so valuable not just for the corporate team, but for DAS UK Group as a whole. We have ambitious growth plans and appointments like these make a statement.”
DAS has been a pioneer of the legal expenses insurance market since the concept was first introduced to the UK in 1975.
It employs around 700 staff in its Bristol head office and sister offices in Bedwas, South Wales, Manchester and London.
The group includes insurance company DAS Legal Expenses Insurance, which offers a range of insurance and assistance add-on products suitable for landlords, homeowners, motorists, groups and business owners, a law firm DAS Law, and an after-the-event legal expenses division DAS LawAssist, offering a civil litigation, insolvency, clinical negligence and personal injury products.
