Uinsure appoints Phil Carr to lead intermediary business as it accelerates adviser-led insurance

29 January 2026

Uinsure has announced the appointment of Phil Carr as Intermediary Director, as the business continues to strengthen its intermediary proposition.

The appointment reflects the significant and continued investment in both people and technology that is helping mortgage intermediaries offer insurance more consistently and successfully.

Phil joins Uinsure with more than 25 years’ experience across insurance distribution, having held senior leadership roles across the industry and most recently at Allianz.

In his role, Phil will lead Uinsure’s intermediary business, with responsibility for intermediary engagement and the continued development of Uinsure’s market-leading insurance capability.

Alongside Phil’s appointment, Jemma Colley has been appointed National Account Manager. She will focus on shaping how Uinsure supports networks and clubs, working alongside a team of senior key account managers who provide long-term, regional strategic partner support, and a newly established partner support team delivering onboarding, training, education and day-to-day guidance.

This structure reflects the diversity of the intermediary market and Uinsure’s investment in both people and technology to make sure advisers receive support that fits how they operate, whether they take a hands-on approach to insurance or prefer a referral-led model.

Lauren Bagley, chief distribution officer at Uinsure, said:

“Intermediaries have an exceptional opportunity to deepen customer relationships at the mortgage moment, where intent and need for insurance is highest. That belief is driving significant investment in our technology proposition development and the people who are supporting intermediaries.

“I’m delighted to welcome Phil to Uinsure. His breadth of experience across insurance distribution strengthens our leadership team as we continue to help advisers engage customers with insurance more consistently and build longer-term relationships beyond the initial mortgage transaction.”

Phil Carr added:

“Uinsure has a clear ambition to help advisers strengthen client relationships through insurance, delivered in a way that reflects how advice is actually given.

“The business is investing in both the technology and the support structures advisers need to confidently integrate insurance into the mortgage journey. My focus is on leading an intermediary business that helps advisers convert opportunities at the right moment and retain stronger, long-term relationships with their clients.”
