RL360° has made a key appointment to the international sales team in their Dubai representative office.

James Savastano will be part of the international sales team working to increase RL360°’s market share throughout the Middle East.

“I am really looking forward to building on existing, and establishing new, relationships,” said James. “I will obviously promote RL360°’s products but also emphasise our culture of same day/next day and work closely to make our online proposition front and centre of my relationships. RL360°’s products are transparent and our online portal adds significant value and saves time for IFAs.”

James has strong connections to the Middle East – his family having lived in Dubai for 18 years. He recently completed a marketing degree in Glamorgan before returning to Dubai.

RL360°’s International Sales Director Simon Pack said: “I am delighted that RL360° is able to give James his break. He will be using the obvious skills that he has to help Middle East Head of Sales Stuart Shilcock and the team continue with their excellent work to develop broker relationships in the UAE and the broader region.”

James, who counts rugby as one of his major passions, added: “I believe that working for RL360° will provide me with a great opportunity to develop myself and my skills as well as offering me interesting career development.   

“I really enjoy the strong team ethos and cohesion I’ve already witnessed here at RL360° and being given the opportunity to promote a well-respected brand.”
