Perry brings over 30 years of industry experience to Hiscox and joins from RSA where her most recent position was Partnerships Director.

The newly created role covers Hiscox UK’s APC division, which encompasses its high net worth home, motor and fine art lines, sold via brokers and direct to customers.

Dingwall commented: “We have ambitious plans for APC and recently reviewed the capability and structure of this division to ensure we are well-positioned to deliver these.
“One of the outcomes of our review was the creation of this new role, which brings together several component parts of the business to simplify our structure and strengthen our expertise.
“Cheralyn will be responsible for creating a distribution and acquisition strategy that ensures APC’s long-term growth and profitability, whilst maintaining our market-leading position. I look forward to seeing this important area of our business evolve under her leadership.”
