UNA Alliance

In the first of our All Together Better People series for 2022, we speak with Jamie Coskry of T L Dallas.  

Jamie was the recent winner of the UNA Newcomer Award following a varied career path to get to where he is today.

As mentioned, you recently won the UNA Newcomer of the Year Award, tell us a bit about how your career to date brought you into the world of insurance…

My career to date has been rather varied. Progressing from rugby into a career in law was the first major change. Then for my next challenge I entered the world of Insurance. My teamworking skills through years of rugby and analytical skills brought from law allowed me to make a fairly smooth transgression into Insurance. I believe having different core skills has allowed me to adapt and grow within this industry within a relatively short period of time. 

Selecting the charities for us all to support at the UNA Conference is no mean feat…we want our philanthropic efforts to be relevant, not only to our members but to our partners, stakeholders and our customers. It’s no secret that we are incredibly mindful of mental health and we bring this to the fore often. This year, we are taking our support of the mind to the next level, championing Insurance United Against Dementia, and Nordoff Robbins. So what are these charities all about? And why have we chosen them? 

Long standing UNA Member Thomas Carroll has today welcomed its acquisition of Cardigan-based Delwyn Griffiths Insurance as the next step in its continuing expansion plans.

The Thomas Carroll Group, which has been trading in Wales for nearly 50 years, has taken the reins of the business which has provided independent insurance advice to local individuals and businesses in West Wales since 1983. All services and existing policies will continue as normal for clients and its office will remain open, supported by Thomas Carroll’s office in Haverfordwest.

In our third in our All Together Better People series, we speak with Gareth Cotty, MD of Thomas Carroll Brokers, about his journey in insurance and as a UNA Alliance member.

UNA Member, Centor has become the latest organisation to achieve Chartered Status.

There are only 140 brokers to have achieved this across the country, and 8 of those are UNA Members.

As you know, our Members are committed to the highest level of professional and ethical standards and it's wonderful to have had that independently verified by our industry’s professional body.

Congratulations to all!
