Sword Insurance, which provides web-based product distribution solutions to the property and casualty insurance market, has appointed Philip Hodges as sales and marketing director.

Leading a team of professionals based in the UK, he joins Phil Race who became director of the group’s European division last year.

Mr Hodges moves from SunGard’s insurance division, where he was head of European sales, and according to his new employer “brings a wealth of IT experience relevant to the insurance market and a customer focused approach to both technology and sales”.

Earlier this month, Sword announced that FCCI Insurance Group had selected its AgencyPortal (with the Toolkit and AgencyConnect products) to launch a new transactional web system for agents.
