Angus Simpson leaves after nearly 10 years

Twelve months after completing its sale to Hilb Rogal & Hobbs (HRH), Glencairn, the international insurance and reinsurance broker, announces that Angus Simpson, its Managing Director, left the company on 31 December.

Commenting, Glencairn's chairman Steve Hearn said: "During Angus' tenure he has made a significant contribution to the growth and success of the company. He initially joined the company as a founder of our highly successful political risk division. During 2002 he masterminded the management buy-out from Glenrand MIB, which was completed in February 2003.

"He was appointed managing director in April 2005 since which time he has been a key member of the management team and has played a large part in the strategic direction of the company leading up to its sale to HRH.

"Having helped steer the company through the immediate post sale transition, Angus has decided that now is the right time to look for new challenges and to spend more time with his family. We wish him well in his future endeavours and thank him for his contribution over the years."

Angus Simpson said: After nearly 10 years with the company and 12 months after HRH's acquisition, I felt that the time was right for me to move on and to look for a new challenge, as well as having the opportunity to spend more time with my family. I wish the company and all my colleagues well for the future."
