Leading travel insurance specialist InsureandGo has appointed Guy Howe as its new head of business development.

Guy brings to InsureandGo a wealth of travel insurance knowledge and expertise, acquired from his previous position as new business implementation manager for the Miller Fisher Group, where he was instrumental in the launch of the AXA/Nationwide Building Society travel insurance scheme.

At InsureandGo he will manage the company's new business team, maintain effective relations with existing partners, which include Admiral, elephant.co.uk, Diamond, inspop and WH Smiths, and implement a new business programme to broaden and develop InsureandGo's position within the travel insurance sector.

Commenting on the appointment, James Richardson, InsureandGo's managing director, said: "Guy's considerable experience within the insurance industry, together with his proven track record, made him the natural choice for us - and we are very pleased to welcome him to InsureandGo.

"We believe that Guy will continue to drive the momentum that has seen us achieve rapid success and build InsureandGo's position as the UK's travel insurance specialist."
