Bristol-based Hayes Parsons Insurance Brokers has appointed Richard Moxon to the new role of head of private client to help it reach its ambitious growth plan for the next five years.
Richard joins from national insurance broker AON, where was head of UK claims. Prior to that he was a managing director at Marsh, where he ran its private client practice and later its education business. 
Richard said he was delighted to join a business that was flexible and nimble and “clearly combines a great culture with a passion for growth”.
“I’m looking forward to working with the existing team on some exciting new opportunities,” he added.
Hayes Parsons Insurance Brokers managing director James Woollam said: “Recruiting someone of Richard’s calibre and experience to lead our private client proposition is very exciting.
“In a period of rapid consolidation, this move underlines our ambition as a market leading, independent insurance broker, something which can only be a good thing for clients and the marketplace.
“We expect more significant hires in the coming months as we drive forward our ambitious growth plan.”
