Rainbow are proud to announce Ex-Eldon chairman Martyn Holman as our new chairman, effective immediately. This new role adds to his impressive resume which includes the Chairman at Somerset Bridge Insurance services.

This role adds to his list of non-executive positions, including Chairman at e2e Total Loss Management, non-executive Director at Open GI and advisory panel member at PremFina.
This coincides with Rainbow celebrating its 10th anniversary.
Realising Rainbow’s Full Potential
Speaking of his excitement in taking up the new role during a time when Rainbow Group’s profile in the broker market is growing, Holman said: “I’m confident I can help the business continue on its current trajectory and assist the shareholders and management to realise the full potential of this very impressive operation.
“I’ve known the company for a number of years and was a big supporter in my time at Brightside and Markerstudy, obviously with Gary Eggleton moving on from Rainbow Connected and doing a great job at Swintons, the business needed to restructure and Andy Dean has continued to invest in the whole Rainbow Group.
”I will be working with him to develop both the external strategy and the internal structure going forward. I think there are some very exciting times ahead.”
Meanwhile, Rainbow Group’s chief executive and founder Andy Dean said: “We have known and worked with Holman’s companies on and off for ten years now. But him joining us means he becomes part of ours and that’s something special. Holman’s experience in running big companies should help us take the Rainbow Group into new territory.
“In the last eighteen months we have spent time repositioning and structuring the business.
”With our UK contact centre growing even throughout the pandemic and our lead and tech businesses looking strong for 2021 we feel this is exactly the right time for someone of Holman’s calibre to be leading us from the front.
”We are all very excited to be utilising his years in the insurance industry and helping us guide the group into the future.”
Welcome on board, Martyn. Glad to have you with us.
