Everywhen chief executive to retire at end of 2026

Rob Worrell, chief executive at Everywhen, has decided to retire at the end of 2026.

Worrell joined the advisory platform in 2017 and under his leadership, Everywhen quadrupled its income from £152m that year to £577m in 2025.

In a statement sent to Insurance Times, Ardonagh, which owns Everywhen, said Worrell is retiring to prioritise time with his family.

Ardonagh chief executive David Ross said: “As Worrell takes a step back after nearly a decade, it is hard to put into words the impact he has had on this group. He was in the room when Ardonagh was just a dream and has played a critical role in our success ever since.

”We are grateful for everything he has done so far and for his support as we prepare the UK business for the next chapter, tapping into the immense experience and leadership we have within the group.”

Experience

Worrell’s previous roles include being the managing director at broker The Insurance Partnership (TIP), which Jelf bought in July 2013.

Worrell stayed on and had been leading Jelf’s general insurance business following its acquisition by Marsh in 2015. He resigned from the role in 2017, with him joining Everywhen in December that year.

Everywhen employs more than 4,500 people with over 100 offices across the UK. It places over £5bn of insurance premium on behalf of clients each year.

Worrell said: “Leading this business has been one of the great privileges of my career. I am hugely proud of what our people have built together – a business with deep client relationships, a distinctive culture and an extraordinary amount of talent and ambition.

”I look forward to supporting the transition to new leadership, so that the business can continue to go from strength to strength.”
