After five years now is a natural time for the business to enter its next phase under new leadership. I thank him and wish him well as he seeks out new challenges.

“Ken is one of the most experienced and talented leaders in RSA and his tenure in Ireland has produced exceptional results. He has outstanding credentials as an underwriter and business leader, and I am sure will prove an able successor to Patrick and help our business to grow and develop in the coming years.”
