The insurance arm of the Farmers’ Union of Wales has today appointed former FUW Montgomeryshire area officer David Lush to the position of sales manager within FUW Insurance Services.
“David has been a dedicated and successful employee here at the FUW for the last ten years and has almost doubled his GPI in that time. As you can imagine, competition for this role has been fierce and there were applications from several highly qualified candidates, but it was felt that David’s experience and previous achievements set him apart from the competition,” said FUW Insurance Services managing director Mark Roberts.
Prior to joining the union, David worked as the operations manager at Entrepreneur Action where he built a division of business advisers in support of the Welsh Government’s business support programme, he also held the role of area director at Barclays in Kent where he managed 14 senior managers and 37 support staff, and area manager for Barclays in Mid Wales where he managed 35 staff across 3 sites who specialised in the small and medium-sized enterprises market.
“On assuming the role of sales manager David will oversee the area officers’ we already have in place and will also be responsible for training our new starters. He will also assist me in arranging and approving new deals and schemes with our existing insurer partners and potential new partners,” added Mr Roberts.
