I thrive on finding new data – from checking, processing and analysing it, to refining technical, pricing and market models working towards the best products we can offer our customers.
I’ve enjoyed working both individually and as a team, particularly during the creation of brand new Home insurance products - the whole process highlighted the importance of good data.
The support of the leadership team and the open atmosphere of Hastings Direct makes it a great place to progress your career, along with the recognition of great work – as well as the social events and community work.

I always enjoyed studying statistics and this was what I wanted to focus on in my career.
When I first joined the Underwriting Services team at Hastings Direct, I was an MI Analyst so data has been a big part of my work life since the beginning. When I first started working with large amounts of data I was surprised by how much it can tell you. I moved on to building statistical models and ever since I always enjoy finding the story being told by the data.
Being part of Hastings Direct means I have been able to grow and seize great opportunities.
