Inzura is looking to hire more staff to its UK operations and bolster its Asia efforts by setting up a new team based in Singapore.

Inzura CEO and co-founder Richard Jelbert said, “Our strategy is to help insurers engage with their customers via access to rich data from smartphones. The next step is to use this rich data to deliver enhanced, personalised insurance services.”
