Simon Brimicombe joined Allianz in December 2007 as Director
of Allianz Schemes. With oversight of the Schemes business, Simon is keen to build on the success Allianz has already made in creating long term successful partnerships. The team are focused on expanding the depth and breadth of those relationships and adding new ones through providing a bespoke partnership approach, innovative new products and a compelling business case.
Prior to joining Allianz, Simon worked for HFC Bank, HSBC's consumer finance subsidiary. His last role was heading up HFC's Retail Services business which provides point of sale finance to over 1 million customers via retailers such as Currys, PC World, B&Q, Furniture Village and DFS. Prior to this, Simon lived in Budapest where he was CEO for HFC's Hungarian business.
Simon believes in gaining a strong understanding of the client's business model, objectives and constraints to then gain a good grasp of the joint challenges. Through true partnership, we can then solve the challenge with a solution that will benefit and meet the objectives of both partners. This is at the heart of any long term and successful relationship.
