Ace Europe appointed Ian Fox as development manager for the UK region.

Mr. Fox will be responsible for managing and building Ace's broker relationships across its eight UK regional offices (Birmingham, Glasgow, Leeds, Maidstone, Manchester, Newcastle, Reading and Watford).

"Ace is well known for its large to medium client expertise among UK brokers, particularly given our global reach and capability," Mr. Fox said. "I am looking to build on our reputation for servicing emerging and existing multinational organisations and also work with brokers to raise awareness of our online system for smaller sized clients."

Mr. Fox joined Ace in 2001 as the business development manager for Watford and shortly afterwards relocated to Manchester to develop business in the north.
