UK’s legacy body IRLA unveils new board appointments

The Insurance and Reinsurance Legacy Association (IRLA), the UK market body for re/insurance legacy management professionals, has appointed a new director and Enstar executive to its board.

Leslie-Ann Giovnilli was named director at its annual general meeting.

Steve Hennessey, head of technical projects at Enstar, has rejoined the board to take on the role of Membership Benefits and will be working closely with IRLA’s younger professionals to create a wide appeal to membership.

Furthermore, returning to directorships are current chairman Stephen Roberts of RSML and James Bolton of Quest Group who takes on the communications lead. Dan Cordina of Ernst & Young has been re-elected as YPG chairman.

Paul Corver (pictured), governance director, said: “As we come out of a turbulent period for the whole sector, we took the opportunity to re-affirm the roles of Directors on the IRLA Board and establish a tighter working relationship for the Board and Committees to ensure an even distribution of work to keep the Association flourishing. We particularly welcome Leslie-Ann onto the Board where she will continue to forge ahead with the Academy and associated educational programmes”.

Giovnilli commented: “The internal governance review of IRLA following the lengthy covid/lock down period has focussed our attention less on administration and more on what can we successfully do more of for members if we work better together, In this vein, the IRLA Board will be more visible and open to receiving members input directly.”
