Caledonia Dallas strengthens its team
Insurance broker, Caledonia Dallas has strengthened its Elgin operation with the appointment of local insurance professional Rhona Scott.
Rhona has joined the firm following almost 15 years with the NFU Mutual Elgin agency, where she held the position of office manager and developed extensive experience across administration, compliance, customer service and operational management.
Her career began with Bank of Scotland in Inverness, where she worked as a mortgage adviser before moving to Lloyds TSB as a financial adviser. She then joined NFU Mutual in 2011, taking on increasing responsibility for the day-to-day management and performance of the Elgin office.
In her new role with Caledonia Dallas, Rhona will bring her considerable industry knowledge and understanding of the local market to the growing Elgin team. Rhona said: “Over the years I’ve have built up lots of experience and strong relationships in the industry and wider business community.
“I’m delighted to be joining Caledonia Dallas at an exciting time for the business. It has a strong local presence and a clear commitment to providing a personal service to its clients. I’m looking forward to contributing to the continued growth of the Elgin office and getting to know colleagues and clients.”
The appointment comes as Caledonia Dallas continues to expand its presence across the north of Scotland. The firm has also recently appointed account executive, James Dawson, to its commercial team in Inverness.
James brings specialist experience in farm, estate, agricultural vehicle fleet and high-net-worth insurance, alongside a background in the Army and rural land management. He previously served as a director with the Perthshire Agricultural Society before relocating to Inverness-shire.
Paul Chiffers, head of office at Caledonia Dallas in Inverness and Elgin, said: “Rhona’s in-depth understanding of customer-service and the insurance sector will be a real asset as we continue to grow our Elgin operation. Alongside James joining our Inverness team, these appointments demonstrate our commitment to investing in experienced people as we expand our presence across the north of Scotland.”
Caledonia Dallas is part of the TL Dallas Group which has offices in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Orkney and Shetland.
