Martin Maguire named as an Insurance Business Young Gun for 2021

A massive congratulations to Martin Maguire, Head of Property for Claim Central Consolidated, for being named as an Insurance Business Young Gun for 2021.

If the 2021 Insurance Business Young Guns are anything to go by, the insurance sector is in great hands. 

The many detailed submissions IB received made it clear that these young practitioners are not simply consummate professionals with impeccable technical expertise. They go above and beyond in every sense. In an increasingly complex and competitive sector, they have managed to lead, innovate, mentor their colleagues, build relationships, develop professionally, place their clients’ needs front and centre, contribute to the wider industry and give back to the community.  

On the whole, this year’s Young Guns possess many ‘soft’ skills that have translated into rock-solid performance: great communication, emotional intelligence and the ability to walk in the client’s shoes. Together, these allow for the management of complex claims and the building of strong, collaborative relationships with clients and colleagues. 
Another common denominator for these stellar performers is what one nomination described as “bringing an inquiring mind to every claim” and leaving no stone unturned in finding a solution.
