The recent climb of Brendan McManus up the Royal & SunAlliance tree to UK commercial director has left the company looking to fill McManus' old post, director of UK commercial corporate business.
According to Backchat's well informed sources, Simon Cooter, R&SA's director of small business and e-business is the internal frontrunner, but there's also plenty of external talent floating around in the market with Lloyd Hanks, Paul Cosh, Phil Bunker and Andy Briscoe all looking for a place to hang their hats.
However, one name put to Backchat, that of a key Norwich Union executive, came as more of a surprise. Especially as Backchat hears that McManus' equivalent at NU, intermediary business director Ken Wallace, has finally set a date for his retirement.
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.
