Norwich Union has appointed a new media relations manager.
Jenny Chapman has joined the media relations team at the UK's largest insurer from the press office of two train operating companies, West Anglia Great Northern (WAGN) Railway and c2c Rail.
Having trained as a journalist, Jenny spent seven years reporting for newspapers in Essex before joining the rail industry 18 months ago. Her time there saw her dealing with many major issues, including the Hatfield tragedy which occurred on WAGN's route.
Jenny is delighted to be taking up her new role in Norwich, where she is working alongside Liz Nicholson on general insurance issues.
Jenny said: 'I have joined the company at a very exciting time as it looks to build on its role as the UK's largest insurer following last year's merger.
'My career in the rail industry gave me a good grounding in crisis management but I am looking forward to getting involved with much more positive media relations with Norwich Union.'
Away from work, Jenny, who is 30 and lives in Colchester, Essex, with her partner Andrew, enjoys keeping fit and watching football.
