With more than three decades of experience in the insurance industry, Mandy began her career as a Personal Assistant to the CEO at Norman Butcher and Jones Ltd before eventually advancing to become an Account Handler.

In September 2000, she joined Citynet where she worked as an Account Handler, managing work for both the Irish and UK departments. As a result of Brexit in 2020, Optis Insurance established a new branch in London and Mandy transitioned to their team, focusing on Irish-based business.

Currently serving as Deputy Account Manager, Mandy supports the Manager in overseeing the day-to-day operations of the Property and Casualty business across the Trim office in Ireland and London. In her free time, Mandy enjoys playing darts, traveling, and social networking.

Jason joined Optis Insurance in January 2021. This move came as a result of Brexit, which prompted Citynet’s Irish team to relocate to Optis Insurance’s London branch in 2020.

With over 15 years of experience in the insurance industry, Jason began his career in 2007 as part of the Small Business Underwriting Team at Hiscox. He has since gained extensive knowledge and expertise in Property and Liability insurance in both Ireland and the UK, having worked in both Broking and Underwriting.

Prior to joining Optis, Jason worked at Citynet from 2013. As a key member of the team, he collaborates closely with the CEO, Branch Manager, and Broking Manager to ensure that Optis delivers a high-standard service to all its clients. He is also responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of his department and leads operational teams in both London and County Meath, Ireland.

When he’s not at work, Jason enjoys travelling, with the United States being a favourite destination. He also loves Football, American Football, and Country Music. His personal motto is “Don’t put off till tomorrow what you can do today,” a quote attributed to Benjamin Franklin.
