RSA’s Brown gets broader role

Adrian Brown has been named chief executive of UK & Western Europe at RSA as part of a restructure.

RSA Group will now be organised into four regions: UK & Western Europe, Scandinavia, Canada and emerging markets.

Brown, currently UK CEO, will now take additional responsibility for RSA’s Irish and Italian businesses, as well as its specialty operations in Spain, France,  Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and Italy.

Also under the new structure Scandinavia chief executive Mike Holliday-Williams and Canada chief executive Rowan Saunders will join the group executive team.

The structure of the emerging markets team remains unchanged under Paul Whittaker.

“This new structure reflects the significant contribution our Scandinavian and Canadian businesses make to the group’s results and will drive improved performance across our UK and Western European region,” RSA group chief executive Simon Lee said in a statement. “The changes will also strengthen the business representation on my group executive.”
