Appoints Ronan Foley to manage all their Irish business

Ecclesiastical has brought the management of all their Irish business in North and South together under the recently-appointed managing director in Ireland, Ronan Foley.

Foley, who is based in Dublin, said: “It makes sense to bring the two parts of operation together. This is the next step in a range of improvements designed to raise Ecclesiastical’s profile in Ireland and to build on our positive presence.”

For an interim period, customers and brokers in Northern Ireland will continue to receive underwriting support from Ecclesiastical’s regional office in Manchester.

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.

Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
Many congratulations to all the worthy winners and as always, huge thanks to our sponsors for their support and our judges for their expertise.
