Charles Taylor appoints CFO

Insurance services firm Charles Taylor has appointed Mark Keogh as group chief financial officer (CFO). He succeeds Tito Soso, who leaves in August.

Keogh joins from Meridien Restructuring, an interim management firm. He was previously group managing director and finance director of Warner Estate, a quoted real estate investment trust.

David Marock, group chief executive officer, Charles Taylor, said: "Mark brings the perfect combination of skills and expertise to Charles Taylor. He has worked in various industries including the marine, energy, and industrial sectors, is a qualified civil engineer and accountant and has been the finance director of a business quoted on the London Stock Exchange.

“All of this should really help him understand our clients and the importance of the loss adjusting and mutual management work we do for them, along with being able to lead the group finance team successfully.

"I am very happy that Mark has been able to join Charles Taylor as we commence our half year reporting cycle. This will ensure a smooth and well-managed hand over of responsibilities to Mark from Tito Soso along with continuity of management during the reporting process."
