AIB are delighted to announce that experienced broker, George Procter has joined our business and will be based from our Chandlers Ford office.  George comes to us with many years of experience and will go straight to work learning our different products and markets within our busy insurance broker.

 

Despite his young looks, George’s experience will be a great asset to us as he joins us from high street insurance broker A-Plan, where he worked in both the Eastleigh and Fareham offices for many years. Prior to that, he worked at Zurich Insurance as an underwriter, within the Construction and Terrorism team. He has a passion for home insurance and high net worth clients generally, but can turn his hand to almost any personal lines or property insurance product. We look forward to welcoming him into the team with his varied set of skills, resourcefulness and diverse experience.

His seriously cool claim to fame is that he scored a belter of a goal at the home of Southampton Football Club, St Mary’s! George enjoys golf, going to the gym and using his beloved steamer to ensure a healthy diet. Perhaps this robust lifestyle is the reason why he excels at everything he applies himself to. With his super fit brain power engaged, there will be no stopping this focused chap making a success of his role. Full Steam Ahead!
