Rupert Robson to step in on 1 Nov

Charles Taylor Consulting, a provider of support services for the insurance sector, has announced the appointment of Rupert Robson as non-executive chairman with effect from 1 November 2007.

This appointment follows the previously notified intention of the company to split the roles of chairman and chief executive and to strengthen its Board.

From this date, John Rowe, currently chairman and chief executive, will step down as chairman, while continuing as chief executive. Alistair Groom and Joe Roach will also step down from their positions as deputy chairmen, whilst remaining on the Board and continuing with their current executive responsibilities.
