John Griffiths | Claims Manager
My journey in the Insurance sector started 20 years ago when I started working at NIG as an FNOL claims handler, throughout the 20 years I have worked for Churchill, RBS and DLG taking on a variety of rolls from recovery handler to credit hire advisor.
18 months ago I took on the claims manager roll for Newstead insurance brokers and love it. Building relationships with all our clients and getting to know them on a personal and professional level makes helping them with their claims and queries even more satisfying.
When I’m not in the office I enjoy spending time with my two young kids or hitting the trails on my mountain bike.
