After five years in the job Managing Director at Ageas Protect, Martin Wearth, has decided to step down at the end of this year.
After spending five years with the Ageas, Mr Wearth said it was time to move on to face fresh challenges.
Barry Smith, CEO of Ageas UK said, “We are sorry that Martin is moving on and would like to thank him for his significant contribution in helping establish Ageas Protect as a real presence in the market.”
When asked about his time with Ageas, Mr Wearth said, “It’s been an exhausting and exhilarating five years. The business is in really good shape and there is a fantastic team in place to take it onto the next stage of its development. I will be taking a well earned break before looking at new opportunities.”
Mr Wearth will step down from the job on December 31 and Darren Springs, currently Operations Director, will temporarily take his place as acting Managing Director on January 1.
Darren joined Ageas Protect at the beginning of 2011 having previously been with Ageas’s retail business, RIAS. He has over 20 years worth of experience in managing large scale customer-facing operations and was part of the leadership team that introduced a joint Ageas Protect and RIAS Over 50s Life Plan product to market.
