Zing365 appoints John Nutter as Training Development Director

Zing365, the specialist insurance CPD and training provider, has announced the appointment of John Nutter as Training & Development Director, reinforcing its commitment to supporting the evolving capability, leadership and professional standards of the insurance sector.

John joins Zing365 following a 30-year career at Aviva, where he held senior leadership roles spanning learning, professional development and organisational capability. His appointment comes at a pivotal time for insurance businesses and brokers, as the sector responds to increased commercial pressure, heightened competition, talent challenges and rising expectations around professional competence.

In his new role, John will lead the ongoing development of Zing365’s holistic training offering, spanning technical and regulatory knowledge, compliance training, sales capability and essential professional skills.

The focus will be on supporting insurance businesses and brokers to build confident, capable teams whose development goes beyond compliance alone.

Zing365 delivers a holistic CPD and training model, combining industry- specific digital learning, instructor-led training and knowledge assessment. This approach is designed to help insurance businesses and brokers move beyond a tick-box view of compliance towards genuine capability- building that improves confidence, behaviour and outcomes.

A key part of this model is Zing Assess, Zing365’s knowledge assessment solution, which enables organisations to measure understanding, identify capability gaps and demonstrate competence in a structured and auditable way. Combined with digital learning and live training, this creates an integrated approach aligned with how professionals develop in practice.

Commenting on the appointment, James Read, Managing Director at Zing365, said:

“John’s appointment is an important step in the continued development of our offer. As the insurance sector evolves, businesses and brokers increasingly recognise that long-term success depends on the quality and capability of their people. John brings deep experience and a clear perspective on how training and development can support real performance, leadership and growth.”

John Nutter added:

“After three decades within one organisation, I wanted the next phase of my career to focus on broader impact across the insurance industry. What attracted me to Zing365 was its ambition and its belief that CPD and training should genuinely support people to do their jobs better. The opportunity to help shape standards, develop talent and support the great work already happening across insurance businesses and broker communities is an exciting one.”

John’s appointment reflects Zing365’s long-term investment in supporting insurance businesses and brokers as they adapt to a more competitive, capability-driven environment, and underlines the company’s commitment to raising standards across insurance learning and professional development.
