Donaldson to head new RSA global specialty unit

RSA has combined its large, risk managed and specialist businesses across the globe to create a Global Specialty Lines (GSL) division.

Led by group sales and broker relationships director Paul Donaldson, the GSL division includes its specialist departments: risk solutions; construction and engineering; marine; and renewable energy.

RSA writes more than £1bn of premium across these businesses.

Donaldson said: “There are only a small number of insurers who can write risk solutions and specialty business across the globe, and we intend to be the very best of them. Our customers are varied and different, and they need the support that a globally coordinated programme can provide them.

“It’s therefore imperative that we harness all our skills and offerings across the group to enable us to meet the needs of our current and potential global customers.”
