Arista has bolstered its Southampton branch with the addition of two new appointments.

Stuart Bulbrooke has been named as southern regional manager.

He joins Arista from ACE Europe, where he spent 17 years.

In his new position Bulbrooke will be tasked with overseeing the implementation of Arista’s strategy for the south of England.

Nia James has been appointed to the role of senior underwriter at the firm’s branch in Southampton.

She leaves behind AXA, where she was development underwriter covering part of the south of England, including the Southampton area.

James will report to Bulbrooke, and be responsible for underwriting property, casualty and motor trade risks, in addition to fostering business in the region.

Charles Earle, the firm’s chief executive officer, welcomed both appointments, describing them as excellent additions to an already strong team.
