RSA UK and western Europe sales and strategic relationships director Chris Sime has announced that he will leave the insurer at the end of June.

The insurer has not given a reason for Sime’s departure, nor explained where he will work next.

Sime has spent 25 years at RSA, starting as a personal lines underwriter.

In a statement, RSA UK and western Europe mid-market director Dan Wilkinson said: “Chris has been a key member of the senior leadership team of the UK business and will be missed by colleagues up and down the country. I want to take the opportunity to wish him every success in whatever he chooses to do next, which I have no doubt will be as successful as his time with RSA.”

Sime said: “I started at RSA when I was only 17, so while it’s been a tough decision to make, I think the time is right for me to see what other opportunities are out there. I’ve really enjoyed my time here and wish all my colleagues luck in the future.”
