Lloyd's insurer to announce successor shortly

Andrew Adie has resigned as managing director of Omega Underwriting Agents Limited (OUAL), the Lloyd's division of Omega Insurance Holdings, with immediate effect.

"Andrew has played a key role in OUAL's successful management of Syndicate 958," Powell added. "I would like to thank him for his contribution to OUAL

Adie's departure follows a string of management changes at Omega. The company overhauled its board in March at the behest of its biggest shareholder, Invesco, and replaced former chief executive Richard Tolliday with Richard Pexton.

Omega made a pre-tax loss of $34.2m in the first haolf of 2010, compared with a profit of $22.9m in the same period last year.
