Gary Clifton joins Partners&

New insurance advisory business Partners& has recruited Gary Clifton as client partner.

Partners& is a Chartered insurance broker providing specialist insurance, employee benefits, risk management and claims advice to businesses and private clients.

Gary, who joins from NFU Mutual, will oversee the provision of risk protection advice to businesses across the North West.

He said: "With markets continually changing, I see my role as keeping up to date with what’s happening – in the wider economy, and even mega-trends – to help clients to understand what that might mean for them, their business, their employees and their families.

"No two years are ever the same for a business, so ensuring the risk management programme reflects these changes is critical. I’ve seen too many instances where businesses are relying on outdated policies and limits without the correct advice to keep them in line with an evolving business and an ever-changing operating environment. It’s such an unnecessary disappointment when the insurance doesn’t pay out when they need it."
