Allianz Insurance has appointed Alastair Warren-Upham to the role of London markets manager.
In his new position, Alastair will oversee the distribution strategy for Allianz’s London branches and engagement with the London market.
Joining Allianz in 2009 on the corporate management programme, Alastair has moved up through the business.
