Timms has extensive experience of working in financial services and joins the company from Partnership where she was head of strategic sales operations.
She worked for Aviva for 25 years and her roles included head of regulated sales training and head of key accounts before moving to Liverpool Victoria (LV) as head of sales in 2010 and latterly was appointed director of sales for Scottish and Southern Energy.
“I’m delighted to be joining Engage as I firmly believe mutuals are where financial services can make a real difference in terms of products and the brand,” said Timms.
“It’s also a very exciting time to come on board with the proposed merger with Family Investments.”
In September the Engage board made a formal recommendation that the society merges with Family Investments to form one of the UK’s largest mutual insurers with over two million customers.
Members of both mutuals will shortly be asked to vote on the proposed merger.
