- Sue Dougal, MD, Christie Finance and Christie Insurance, London e-mail

Sue has 25 years’ experience working in financial services. Early on, she worked for a major lending institution before moving to an insurer. She spent 16 years at a building society holding many influential positions, including nine year tenure responsible for the sales and operations of the retail channels. Accountable for the profit and loss of the branch network, contact centre and IFA sales force, she gained considerable experience directing the sale of a broad range of personal and business borrowing, investment and insurance products and services.
Pursuing a strong desire to deliver superior levels of client experience and service, she researched consumer behaviour in financial services, which contributed towards an MBA. After study for the Chartered Institute of Marketing’s E-marketing Award, she joined Christie Finance and Christie Insurance in October 2007.
The brokerage teams at Christie Finance and Christie Insurance have knowledge and expertise within their specialist sectors of retail, care, leisure, hotels, pubs and restaurants. Sue’s ambition for both companies is to utilise this considerable talent to deliver unique client value.
