Friday 14 October 2022 marked time-up for one of our longest serving members of Temple Legal Protection. After 22 (twenty-two) years, Paul pulled the plug on his employment with us and made his decision to retire.
With 40 years’ plus experience in the insurance industry, we have certainly lost an extremely experienced colleague.
Paul has seen ATE insurance go from being a ‘nuisance’ to a ‘necessity’. He has been there to help Temple predict and respond effectively to become market leaders.
Speaking of Paul’s retirement, our Senior Underwriting Manager, Matthew Best commented;
“I joined Temple in July 2011 with Paul as my original mentor. Learning the ropes as it were, couldn’t have taken place with anyone better suited. If ever there was a problem to solve (and there were!), Paul would always come up with the answers.
Paul cultivated fantastic relationships with all of the accounts under his management. His ability to build rapport was second to none. He was a very important cog in our team and he will be sorely missed.”
Looking to the future, our underwriting team remain committed to building upon the business relationships and service standards Paul contributed to over the last 20 years; in order to ensure our customers are provided with the very best products for their clients.
We wish Paul all the very best for the future.
