Brendan McManus, former Willis boss, has been appointed CEO of Giles Insurance. McManus left his job at Willis in October and will take up the role at Giles in April 2012.
When asked about the move, McManus said, “I’m really excited to be coming to Giles. Everyone in the insurance industry recognises that Chris [Giles, founder of Giles Insurance] has done an amazing job in building the business to where it is today.
“The fact that he still has massive ambitions for it meant I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to be part of the story.”
Giles added, “I’m delighted that Brendan will be joining the group and I’m looking forward to working with him in what will be a new chapter of the group’s development. His pedigree and breadth in the sector will be real assets for us”
