Insurance group Ecclesiastical has promoted Mark O’Riordan to the head of group reinsurance, effective 1 July. O’Riordan will take over from Andrew Jones, who will retire at the end of 2014.
O’Riordan will be responsible for leading the group’s reinsurance function where he will manage the placement and security of all group general business reinsurance.
He will also be responsible for catastrophe insurance for UK and global exposures. As the new head, he will report to Ian Campbell, the group’s CFO.
O’Riordan previously held the title of group reinsurance manager for Catastrophe Risk, before joining Ecclesiastical in 1982.
Campbell commented on the promotion: “I am very pleased to welcome O’Riordan. His knowledge of the company, experience and relationships within the reinsurance sector make him the ideal successor for Jones.”
He added: “On behalf of Ecclesiastical, I’d like to thank Jones for his 29 years’ service.”
Following the changes, Andy Moxey and Caroline Marshall will take on expanded roles as group reinsurance manager for property risk and group reinsurance manager for casualty and counterparty risk, respectively.
Jo Lawrence will also expand her role as senior reinsurance technician.
