Coface extends its Irish team with 2 appointments

Nov. 1, 2010 - PRLog -- Coface in Ireland provides a full range of credit management solutions to assist Irish companies to trade securely and successfully, both at home and overseas: tailored domestic and export credit insurance policies, business information and ratings and debt collection.  Receivables Finance is also available depending on clients’ requirements and a package can be arranged for all four solutions, which work holistically to strengthen and protect cash flow.

These appointments are part of a growth strategy which will mean that expert credit management advice and support will be more readily available to businesses in Ireland – at a time when the Irish economy is struggling to see signs of recovery and battling against the availability of credit being in decline for the fifteenth consecutive month.

Roslyn joins Coface from The Credit Insurance Management Company Ltd (CIMCO) - specialist credit insurance brokers in Ireland – where she had worked for 11 years, most recently as Head of Client Relations. Prior to this, Roslyn worked at Citibank.

Ellen has worked in the insurance industry for a number of years and brings a wealth of experience with her. Prior to joining Coface, she spent 18 months with Chartis in Dublin as a Commercial Combined Underwriter for new and existing business as well as in Australia – prior to this Ellen worked at Allianz for 4 years.

Danny Greechan, Commercial Director for Coface in the UK & Ireland comments: “I am delighted to appoint Roslyn and Ellen, to further strengthen our growing book of business in Ireland and help support Irish businesses through these very challenging economic times. Together with our Risk Manager, Tony Gordon, they will form a very strong Coface team able to deliver the highest standards of service to our Irish clients.”
