RSA appoints Zurich’s Norgrove to head Irish unit

Zurich Group’s Ken Norgrove has been appointed as CEO of RSA Insurance’s Irish unit following the resignation of Phillip Smith last year. Smith stepped down after the unit was investigated for accounting irregularities.

Norgrove was most recently CEO of Zurich General Insurance Ireland and has over 25 years of insurance experience in both the UK and Ireland.

Adrian Brown, RSA UK & Western Europe CEO, said: “I am extremely pleased to welcome back Ken to RSA. He has an extensive knowledge of the Irish market plus a strong track record of delivering results and building motivated, highly performing teams.

“We carried out a comprehensive search process and Ken was the stand out candidate. He is held in high regard and has the unanimous support of the Board. Our clear intent now is to drive our business forwards with an unrelenting focus on delivering for our customers, our brokers and all our stakeholders.”
