Becca has worked for Ecclesiastical for a little over three years, in the Risk Management Department. Her day-to-day job involves undertaking remote surveys of churches and offering risk management advice to ensure the well-running of the building and reduce the likelihood of incidents occurring. Becca learnt to ring when she was four years old and has moved around the country – starting in the north west, growing up in the south east, with the benefit of the London ringing scene on her doorstep, and latterly moving to the south west, where she now lives. As a relative novice to the insurance industry, Becca learns a lot from working closely with Marcus when ringing-related queries or claims come in to Ecclesiastical.
