Premium Credit has appointed Glen Murphy as Strategic Account Manager responsible for Affinity Partners.

Murphy has a wealth of experience having worked in the insurance industry and exclusively for Aviva over the last 24 years, holding a number of senior roles. His main areas of focus have been Sales and Relationship Management. His most recent role at Aviva was Head of Strategic Partnerships in which he managed some of the largest distributors in the marketplace for both GI and Life products.

Following his appointment Murphy commented: “I am delighted to move to Premium Credit, a company eager to work even closer with its partners to achieve strong growth ambitions. I look forward to using my knowledge and experience to deliver success for our partners and great offerings for our customers.”

Owen Thomas, Chief Sales Officer at Premium Credit added: “We’re pleased to welcome Glen to our sales team with specific responsibility for developing business for our affinity partners. His appointment is part of our overall strategy to build our sales proposition further.

We want to learn more about what developments our partners would like to see. We've been listening and are acting, getting closer to our partners. Glen’s appointment is a direct response to this approach.”

As well as modifying the front-line sales structure following partner feedback Premium Credit has also created a more expansive support team back at its head office. Further resourcing has been given to strategic planning, campaign management, bid & implementation management and specialist communications all designed to maximise business development for both Premium Credit and its partners.
