Radius Insurance Solutions has appointed Phil Thorn as its new managing director. 

Thorn’s appointment comes as his predecessor, Matt Kirby, moves into a new role within Radius’ EV and energy division.

He brings over 20 years of industry experience from his leadership roles at Aon and Hiscox, and the Cheshire-headquartered firm says he will be influential in its next stage of growth. 

“I am thrilled to join Radius and lead the insurance business at such an exciting time,” said Thorn.

“We have a huge opportunity to combine insurance with telematics and other unique solutions that we currently offer, to drive significant growth in the SME and commercial motor markets.”

“We have high hopes and expectations for the future of insurance and Phil joining is critical in us striving to achieve those goals.”

The news comes shortly after the business opened new offices in Sheffield, Leeds and Dundalk, increasing its presence and ability to serve customers across the UK and Ireland.

Radius has been supporting businesses with their insurance for over 70 years. 

As an independent broker, the company works with a range of up to 120 insurers to provide competitive cover, tailored to each business’s needs.
