Earlier this month RSA Group revamped its specialty and wholesale (S&W) unit to focus on four core specialisms. Now company veteran Geoff Jones (pictured), who has been UK commercial claims director since January 2016, will be taking on the role of director of the division.
S&W is part of the insurer’s Global Risk Solutions business.
“The development of a thriving and focused specialty and wholesale business is a crucial part of RSA’s strategy,” noted Global Risk Solutions managing director Tony Buckle.
“Geoff has the skills and experience to develop a brilliant service for customers in our chosen specialisms, underpinned by market-leading expertise, high-quality underwriting, and fair, accurate pricing.”
Jones, who joined the firm in 2010 following a 15-year career as a solicitor specialising in defendant litigation, will start heading the S&W unit in January 2019.
“Having been part of RSA’s commercial lines executive team for the last three years, I am greatly excited by the prospect of leading the specialty and wholesale business to deliver consistent quality for our customers and shareholders,” he said.
“My claims experience will serve me well in addressing the performance challenges facing the S&W business, while strengthening our relationships with our customers and partners to secure our long-term success.”
