Zurich UK has announced the appointment of Amy Brettell as managing director of Zurich Municipal. Brettell, who will also join Zurich’s executive team, succeeds Andrew Jepp, who has decided to step down after 40 years at Zurich.

Having joined the business on the actuarial graduate scheme, Brettelly has been with Zurich for 15 years holding a range of senior leadership roles including chief of staff. She has been responsible for multiple parts of Zurich Municipal’s business during this time, including public services, health and charities. Most recently, she led Zurich’s customer and digital transformation as head of customer in UK claims.

Tim Bailey, Zurich UK CEO, said: “I would like to thank Andrew for his outstanding contribution to our business over 40 years of service. Andrew is greatly respected by our customers and colleagues alike and his strong leadership over the past six years has shaped Zurich Municipal’s competitive position today.

“Amy was the standout successor for this role, and the speed at which she has reached such a senior position is testament to her talent. Having worked across Zurich in a variety of senior roles, Amy has a deep understanding of our business and the needs of our public and voluntary sector customers. Amy will be a really valuable addition to the executive team, and I look forward to working closely with her to cement Zurich Municipal’s leading market position.”
