Vizion, a boutique Commercial and HNW insurance broker, has announced the appointment of Peter Robison as Broking Director and Head of Commercial. Additionally, two new Partners have joined: John Paddock and John Shephard.
Peter Robinson, who joins from Gallagher’s, Stackhouse Poland as was, will head up the Commercial business and will be responsible for the broking strategy across all areas of the business.
Peter is a renowned market figure with huge experience; his appointment represents a major step forward for the business to go to the next stage of the already impressive growth since 2017.
Peter Robinson was a main board director of Stackhouse Poland following their acquisition of his broker, RHB, in 2006. He became a key player in the huge success of the business including overseeing the integration of their largest acquisition, Lucas Fettes & Partners.
Robinson said “I’m thrilled to join Vizion. I have known John and Chris for more than twenty years and have watched with great interest as their business has developed and grown. It is a fascinating business model and has certainly sparked the interest of the wider marketplace. I’m proud to be asked to join and feel my experience will help the business to move to a new level.”
John Sims, Managing Director of Vizion added “What a coup for us to snag Peter! We want to exponentially grow our Commercial business and Peter is just the perfect person to lead that charge. He also happens to be one of the nicest people in the market. We got to know each other shortly after we launched Chubb Masterpiece in 1996 and Peter and RHB were one of the very early adopters of the concept. We’ve been friends since and I’m just thrilled to have this chance to work together.”
Along with Peter Robinson, John Paddock joins from Hayes Parsons and specialises in HNW with a particular expertise in supercars. John Shephard joins from Ten where he was responsible for the HNW strategy. Both bring with them great knowledge and market expertise.
