Chase Templeton has strengthened its management team with the recruitment of Geoff Thompson to the newly created role of business retention manager.
Thompson joins the private medical consolidator from PMI Group with whom he spent 17 years, eight as a senior employee benefits consultant.
In that role his responsibilities included hitting retention and new business generation targets within the 100-1,000 employee SME space.
He will report to head of corporate sales, Gillian Adams, with board direction coming from commercial director, Richard Holden.
The new role has been created to ensure that the company can continue to effectively manage retention as its acquisition strategy increasingly focuses on larger businesses.
The appointment also reflects a growing emphasis on organic growth, with increasing resources being committed to new business generation and cross-marketing to the company's existing client base. "
Thompson is one of 18 new recruits to join the business which now employs some 115 staff.
